  1. 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?

    1. 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…

  2. 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!!

  3. Sarah says:

    Can I put semi frozen chicken on? If so how long do I cool it?

  4. Jake says:

    Can you cook the chicken on low first? If so, how long?

  5. 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!

  6. 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

  7. 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.

    1. 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. 😉

  8. Vannessa says:

    Do you have to add water or anything to cook the chicken? So it doesn’t dry out?

    1. 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! 😉

  9. Sheila Saul says:

    This sounds so wonderful and easy. I would like to follow you and recieve emails with recipes.

  10. bonnie davies says:
