Jen says
I liked this recipe. I used some low sodium chicken broth ti keep the frozen chicken breast moist. I would make this recipe again.
Heidi says
So glad to hear you liked it, Jen!
Angela says
Once you drain the juices, you mix the juices with the sour cream and soup?
Heidi says
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!
Mandy says
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!
Heidi says
That sounds delicious, Mandy! Crockpots are definitely a lifesaver during a big move!
Heather says
Made these with chicken tenderloins. My 5 year old looooved it! Soooo yummy and the chicken wasn’t dried out at all! Definitely will be make again!
Heidi says
So glad to hear your family loved it, Heather! Using tenderloins is a great idea!
Joan says
Do you add a can of water to the soup before mixing with sour cream?
Heidi says
Hi Joan ~ no water is needed… you’ll just use the contents of the soup can. Hope that helps!
Anne Schmidt says
Quick ? ……. Has anyone else tried it with other pieces of chicken ….. Not a bid fan of boneless chicken breast
Heidi says
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:
https://thefrugalgirls.com/2017/03/french-onion-pork-chops.html
Hope that helps! 😉
Anne Schmidt says
Thanks so much for the quick reply …… What about bone in chicken thighs ….. So much cheaper …… Longer cooking time perhaps ……. Let me know what you think …… Anne
Heidi says
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! 🙂
Anne Schmidt says
Thanks again ….. Can’t wait to make ….. have a wonderful week!!!!!
Heidi says
You’re very welcome, Anne… hope you have a great week, too!
MAGEN DAIN says
Have you ever tried replacing sour cream with Greek yogurt?
Heidi says
Hi Magen,
I haven’t tried that yet, but if you do… let us know how it turns out!
Sherri says
What do you usually serve as a side with this? Noodles, rice?
Heidi says
Hi Sherri ~ I like to serve with rice and a salad, but it would be delicious with noodles, too! ENJOY! 🙂
Sherri says
Sounds terrific! It’s in the pot now! Thanks for the great crockpot recipes- I love them.
Heidi says
Aww ~ you’re very welcome, Sherri! 😉
kat says
Curious if the sour cream could be substituted with Greek yogurt?
Heidi says
Hi Kat… I haven’t tried that, but if you do let me know how it turns out! 😉
laura says
Don’t you need liquid in the pot to start cooking the chicken?
Heidi says
Hi Laura ~ no liquid is required, as the chicken will end up cooking in its own juices that it releases. Hope that helps!
Bgali says
Can you use frozen chicken breasts?
Heidi says
I did and it turned out great.
Kristen says
Has anyone made this with dry onion soup mix? Would you just add the dry soup to the sour cream or would you prepare it first? Also, has anyone made this with frozen chicken breasts?
Heather says
Hi, I actually used a packet and made it into soup and just scooped out the amount he recipe calls for and am using that…
Beverly in Mississippi says
I have found that anything cooked with French onion soup is delicious!
I love my crockpot so much that I have 3 sizes and use them often!!
Sarah says
Can I put semi frozen chicken on? If so how long do I cool it?
Jake says
Can you cook the chicken on low first? If so, how long?
miranda says
Hi! I’m only cooking for myself so I was wondering if I could freeze a portion of your chicken crockpot recipes and only cook the other portion?
Thanks!
Velda Sandbeck says
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
Brittany says
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.
Heidi says
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. 😉
Vannessa says
Do you have to add water or anything to cook the chicken? So it doesn’t dry out?
Heidi says
Hi Vannessa ~ no… you don’t need to add anything else ~ the chicken will cook in its own juices that it releases. Hope that helps! 😉
