Description

This 4-Ingredient Slow Cooker Sour Cream Chicken is a simple and comforting dish perfect for busy days. With tender, juicy chicken breasts cooked low and slow alongside creamy sour cream and cream cheese, this recipe delivers rich flavor with minimal effort. The chicken coating mix adds a deliciously seasoned crust that enhances the dish, making it ideal served over mashed potatoes or rice for a hearty, satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 skinless boneless chicken breasts

Dairy

  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 16 ounces sour cream or Greek yogurt

Seasoning

  • 5 ounces chicken coating mix (two 2.5-ounce packs, such as Kroger Easy Bake Chicken Seasoned Coating Mix or Shake and Bake)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the slow cooker: Place the 4 skinless boneless chicken breasts into the slow cooker in an even layer. Add the 8 ounces of cream cheese by dolloping it on top of the chicken.
  2. Add sour cream and seasoning: Pour 16 ounces of sour cream or Greek yogurt over the chicken and cream cheese. Evenly sprinkle the 5 ounces of chicken coating mix on top. Use a spatula or spoon to gently spread the sour cream and coating mix to cover the chicken evenly, but avoid mixing everything thoroughly at this stage.
  3. Cook the chicken: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours. This slow cooking process will tenderize the chicken breasts and blend the flavors.
  4. Shred and combine: Once cooking is complete, remove the chicken breasts and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir well to combine with the creamy sauce and coating mix, ensuring the dish is well mixed and saucy.
  5. Serve: Serve the creamy shredded chicken warm, ideally over mashed potatoes or rice for a complete and comforting meal.
