Introduction

I threw this together from what I had in my pantry at the time. With proper planning, I'd use fat-free soup and sour cream. It is delicious as-is, but fat could certainly stand to be cut.

You can put the chicken into the slow cooker while still frozen, so prep time is virtually non-existent! A great choice to throw in before bed for lunch at work or in the morning for that night's dinner.

This recipe calls for two pounds of chicken, also because it was what I had available (three large breasts), but would make a great meal with just one pound, too.

I served this along with brown rice and black beans. Tasty!

    This was a really good recipe; it smells great cooking throughout the day. Instead of onion soup mix, I added McCormick's Taco Seasoning. It makes it nice and spicy. I also added black beans, yum! - 1/24/10

    I made this with taco seasoning instead of onion mix. I also added a can of rotel, drained. It was fabulous served over rice! - 2/6/11

    This was soooo delicious. Like others, I used taco seasoning and rotel for the added spice. My husband loved it. I had it on brown rice. He had it on tostitos, as the meat for tacos and on brown rice. This is going to be a regular item in our house. - 4/18/12

    It needs some spicing up, a little cumin, chili powder, adobo, maybe a can of drained Rotel. - 2/1/10
