How To Make Crock Pot Mushroom Chicken

1. Add chicken breasts to the bottom of a 6-quart crockpot.
2. Pour onion soup mix and cream of mushroom soup over the top of the chicken. Top with sliced mushrooms.
3. Cover and cook on high for 2½-3½ hours or low for 4½-6 hours.
4. Remove chicken and shred with two forks. Add sour cream and shredded chicken to the slow cooker and mix until combined.

Recipe Tips

• Mix ¼ cup of water and 3 tablespoons of cornstarch for a thicker sauce. Mix it in when adding the sour cream and shredded chicken.
• Trim any fat that may have been left on the chicken breasts for the best flavor and texture.
• Shred the chicken while it's as hot as safe to handle. Hot meat shreds much more easily.
• Add the sour cream at the end for a creamy texture rather than a clumpy, curdled one.

Hint
