Slow Cooker Ritz Chicken

We had this chicken over mashed potatoes with some corn on the side (or, in my case, I mixed the corn right in with the chicken and potatoes with a sprinkling of cheese and it was super yummy!) and everyone loved it.

Slow Cooker Ritz Chicken

Ingredients:

• 10.5 ounce can cream of chicken soup
• 2 cups sour cream
• 1 1/2 cups crushed Ritz Crackers
• 1/2 cup butter melted
• 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 Tablespoon parsley for garnish

Directions:

1. Combine the soup and sour cream in a bowl and set aside.
2. In another bowl mix together cracker crumbs and melted butter.
3. Place chicken in slow cooker that has been sprayed lightly with non stick cooking spray. Leave the breasts whole if you want to shred it later before serving, or cut your chicken into bite-sized chunks so you don't have to shred it later. (We did the chunks, and it was perfect.)
4. Spoon the soup mixture over the chicken and sprinkle cracker crumbs on top.
5. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 4-5 hours.
6. Garnish with parsley before serving.

Marsha's Notes:

• I used one package/tray of chicken tenders from the meat department at our grocery store. They were frozen at the time, but I could thaw them enough under some running water to break the stuck-together tray of tenders in half so they would fit into my crock pot. 
• I sprinkled the meat with some salt and pepper. Then I put the sauce ingredients on top and left everything to cook on high for a couple of hours until I could stir the entire thing and get it in an even layer in the pot. At that point (maybe around noon) I added the Ritz mixture to the top and left it to cook for the rest of the day. Seems like once I noticed the edges of the pot bubbling, I turned things down to low until dinner time. 
• For the topping, I used two sleeves, or half of a 13-14 oz. box of crackers. They breakup easy enough that I didn't have to pound them with a rolling pin. I could just crush them up with my hands through the bag.
