  3. Place the chicken breasts into the crockpot and coat them with the sauce mixture.
Cooking

Finishing
  1. Once cooked, shred the chicken with two forks and stir it into the creamy sauce.
  2. Stir in sour cream for extra creaminess and flavor. Garnish with shredded cheese and parsley, if desired.
