🍗 Slow Cooker Creamy Ritz Chicken

Slow Cooker Creamy Ritz Chicken is the perfect cozy dinner when you want something comforting and incredibly easy to prepare. With just a few simple ingredients, the slow cooker transforms chicken breasts into a tender, creamy dish topped with buttery Ritz cracker crumbs.

As the chicken cooks slowly, the crackers soften slightly and blend with the creamy sauce, creating a rich and flavorful topping that makes every bite warm and satisfying.

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 4–6 hours
Total Time: About 6 hours
Servings: 4

🛒 Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup crushed Ritz crackers
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for extra richness)

Optional Garnish

  • Fresh chopped parsley

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Prepare the Slow Cooker
    Lightly grease the inside of the slow cooker with nonstick spray or a small amount of oil.
  2. Add the Chicken
    Place the chicken breasts in a single layer at the bottom of the slow cooker.
  3. Make the Creamy Mixture
    In a bowl, mix together the sour cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, and black pepper until smooth.
  4. Pour the Sauce
    Pour the creamy mixture evenly over the chicken breasts so they are well coated.
  5. Add the Ritz Crackers
    Sprinkle the crushed Ritz crackers evenly over the chicken and sauce. Add small pieces of butter on top if using.
  6. Slow Cook
    Cover and cook on:

    • LOW: 5–6 hours
    • HIGH: 3–4 hours

    The chicken should become tender and easy to shred with a fork.
