FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Can I dice the chicken breasts?

Yes definitely. This will help the chicken cook a bit faster and also make it more bite-sized and easier to serve.

Do I have to add the green beans?

No, they are optional.

Can I use fresh green beans or canned green beans?

Yes, but I would wait to add them on top since they will cook faster than everything else. For fresh green beans, season them then add them in about 2 hours before serving and with canned green beans (drain first) add them about one hour before cooking is finished.

Can I use frozen chicken breasts?

Yes. Frozen chicken breasts can be used. The cooking time should stay about the same since frozen chicken breasts are often smaller than their fresh counterparts.

What if I don't like sour cream?

Just substitute with about ½ cup of milk so that you still get great creaminess added to the dish.

Can I use any other cream soups?

We also really like cream of celery for this. However, you can also use cream of mushroom or cream of onion soup!

    How long would i cook this on low? My 8 hours? My crockpot goes to warm when done. Will this dry it out if it's on low an hour or so?

    Love this recipe! I subbed the cream of chicken soup for cream of celery, the water for milk, and added a small amount of Better than Bouillon. It turned out amazing, perfect comfort food. I served it with glazed carrots and biscuits. Even my VERY choosy 2 year old loved it!

    Made this using 9 medium-small thighs with bone in and skin on (but trimmed back). I worried it might be a little greasy but it wasn't. Not a fan of chicken breasts and knew the thighs would be moist and have much more taste. I also used 1/2 c of sour cream and 1/4 cup mayo along with the called for amount of water. The sauce 'broke' but I don't know what I could have done to prevent that. So it didn't LOOK that great but it was delicious. Almost too moist so if you use the chicken thighs, don't add more than the amount of water the recipe calls for or it'll be swimming. It cooked beautifully in 4.5 hours. Thank you, I will definitely make this again. Think I'll try subbing peas or corn for the green beans for a little change up now and again.

      I don’t recommend it. Unfortunately by the time the chicken is cooked, everything else will be burned.

        I have this in the crockpot right now. I used frozen chicken tenderloins. They are really thin so I am thinking they should cook in the 4 and a half hours it says. I will have my husband let me know how it turns out then I will let you know if he liked it! I won't be eating it thou because I am a vegan 🙂
