We just had this for dinner and oh.my – it was good! Now, I have to say, this is not health food. Not by a long shot! However, next time, I think I am going to skip the butter in the ritz – I don’t think it was needed. Not that is wasn’t good with the butter! I just was thinking of saving a few calories 😉 I may make it with already cubed chicken next time, so that may prevent the problem I had this time. This time, I simply used 2 large chicken breasts, but then needed to shred it, so I waited to put in the ritz crackers, until after I shredded the chicken. Next time, I may just use already cubed chicken, so I can add in the ritz mixture at the beginning and not worry about it! I think it may be good with about 1/2 as much of the sour cream as well. I guess next time I will be playing with the recipe!
We served it over mashed potatoes. It would also be good over rice too – YUM! I love easy, delicious crockpot meals.
Ingredients:
- 2lbs of Chicken – or up to 6 chicken breasts. It makes ALOT of sauce, so you could make quite a bit of chicken with this recipe
- 1 can Cream of Chicken Soup
- 16 oz (1 Pint) Sour Cream (I used low fat)
- 1.5 – 2 cups of crushed ritz crackers
- 1/2 cup melted butter (optional)
Directions:
Place the chicken breasts in the crockpot. You can use whole chicken breasts or cubed up chicken. Your choice! Then add the sour cream and cream of chicken soup and mix them together. Now this is the part you can decide your preference. If you are using already cubed chicken, or are wanting whole chicken breasts, you can mix the ritz crackers and butter together, and then sprinkle on top of the chicken. I wanted shredded chicken, so I skipped putting it in. After the chicken was cooked, I shredded the chicken, so it would soak up the sauce, and then added the ritz crackers. If you do it this way, I would skip the butter – as it was not needed. I then let it cook another hour. Cook it all on high 4-6 hours or low 8-10 hours.
Serve over mashed potatoes or rice. Enjoy!
