Ingredients
- 2 pounds raw chicken tenders
- 1 10.5-ounce can condensed cream of chicken soup undiluted
- 1 1-ounce packet dry onion soup mix
- 1 cup sour cream regular full-fat preferred
- nonstick cooking spray or oil for coating the slow cooker
- black pepper optional; the soup mix is already salty enough
Instructions
- Lightly coat the inside of a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker with nonstick spray or a thin film of oil.
- Arrange the 2 pounds of raw chicken tenders in an even layer across the bottom, allowing only slight overlap if necessary.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the condensed cream of chicken soup, onion soup mix, and sour cream until smooth and combined; do not add broth, milk, or water.
- Spread the sour cream mixture evenly over the chicken tenders, covering them as best you can.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours or on HIGH for 2 to 3 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and very tender, checking toward the earlier end of the range.
- Near the end of cooking, gently stir the chicken and sauce once if desired, then taste and add a little black pepper if you like.
- Serve hot over egg noodles, rice, mashed potatoes, or thick toast, with something green alongside if desired.
Notes
Store leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator for about 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave, covered loosely, stirring once or twice, or warm in a saucepan over low heat. If the sauce is too thick, add a tiny splash of water. Store the chicken separately from noodles when possible so the noodles do not absorb all the sauce.
