    I liked this recipe. I used some low sodium chicken broth ti keep the frozen chicken breast moist. I would make this recipe again.

    Once you drain the juices, you mix the juices with the sour cream and soup?

      Hi Angela,

      You’ll drain and discard the juices. Then you’ll mix the French Onion Soup with Sour Cream and pour that over the chicken. This will ensure a thicker more flavorful sauce. Hope that helps!

    We were moving this weekend and discovered the stove/oven didn’t work at the last minute, so my crockpots have been out through the ringer. Using what I had, this was a favorite last night. I used bone-in chicken thighs and increased the time. I didn’t have the soup on hand, but used onion soup mix, and stirred it and some of the cooking juices into the sour cream. Served it with crockpot potatoes and a side of broccoli. Thanks for the great recipe!

      Hi Anne ~ you could try it with boneless thighs if you prefer dark meat… or it’s also delicious with pork chops! Here’s a recipe for that:

          Hi Anne ~ if you’re using bone-in chicken thighs you’ll want to cook a bit longer. It will honestly just depend on the size of the thighs, but I would use this cook time as a starting point, then at the end start checking them to see where they’re at and lengthen the time by 20 minute increments as needed. Enjoy! šŸ™‚

      Hi Laura ~ no liquid is required, as the chicken will end up cooking in its own juices that it releases. Hope that helps!

    You have to do is add 2 to 3 tablespoons of flour mixed with the sour cream and put into the crockpot and it will thicken as it cooks

    How would it turn out if I weren’t able to drain the chicken juices and just cooked it all together at once? As I’ll be at work while it cooks.

      June 23, 2014 at 12:37 pm

      Hi Brittany ~ the sauce will turn out more watered down if all ingredients are cooked together from the beginning. The reason I like to drain the juices first is that you’ll end up with a much thicker, tastier sauce. šŸ˜‰
