| Sour Cream and Bacon Crockpot Chicken |
|
Type: dinner
Prep Time: 15 mins
Cooke Time: 8 hours
Total Time: 8 hours 15 mins
Serves: 8
Ingredients
- 8 bacon slices
- 8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 (10 oz) cans roasted garlic cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup flour (all purpose or gluten free blend)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Place the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-low heat until some of the fat is rendered. Be sure that the bacon is still pliable and not crisp. Drain on paper towels. If you use this method, reduce the flour to 1/4 cup. Or don’t cook the bacon and proceed with the recipe.
- Then wrap one slice of bacon around each boneless chicken breast and place in a 4-5 quart crockpot.
- In medium bowl, combine condensed soups, sour cream, and flour and mix with wire whisk to blend. Pour over chicken.
- Cover crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours until chicken and bacon are thoroughly cooked. You may want to remove the chicken and beat the sauce with a wire whisk so it is very well blended.
- Pour sauce over chicken.
- If you have a newer crockpot, check the chicken at 5 hours. The internal temp should be 160 -170 degrees F.
Notes
Serve over rice, couscous, or wide egg noodles.
**Gluten Free** Check labels. You can buy gluten free Cream of mushroom soup although many brands are not.

I can not wait to try this!
Sounds wonderful!
great place
My mouth is watering…it looks delicious!!
I really want to fix this tonight…don’t have 6 hours. 350 for and hour in the oven??? Any suggestions!!!
Sounds like it should work. I would just keep an eye on it!
I love crock pots, my mom, your site, and the looks of this chicken!
Sounds good, but Cream of Mushroom soup is not gluten free.
You can actually buy gluten free cream of mushroom.
Hey! This looks wonderful! Do you know if the bacon gets crispy at all when cooking in the crockpot? My husband was curious about it!
I think we will try this one day this week. Thank you!
Page,
You can brown the bacon a bit first before you place it in the crockpot. This helps it get nice and crispy.
It is good
Ohhhhhh, it has bacon in it! Going to make this next week, will let you know what my results are
I’m allergic to mushrooms any suggestions for a substitute.
You can use any cream of soup. Like cream of chicken.
This was very good cut recipe down for 2 and put some extra touches and it was so Yummy ,,leftovers were even better ! Id onions will make this again and add garlic and
onions with mushrooms.
This sounds wonderful. However, for those of you with celiac disease, most cream of soups have gluten in them, so be very careful with this recipe if you or your family has problems with gluten!
I was wondering, do I need to add the water that is requested on the can of soup? I’m thinking I will need to because with the flour, the sauce will be super think…. Any suggestions from anyone that may have made this already?
I have this in the crockpot right now, and it is nice and creamy. When I first put it in it was very thick, but as it cooked it loosened up a lot. No need to add water.
I’m making this right now! I’m glad I read through the comments, because I noticed the sour cream/condensed soup mixture was thick. Wasn’t sure if water needed to be added or not. Thanks for the info!
Looks great! Can there be a different soup substituted for cream of mushroom?
Any “cream of” soup can be used.
Can you put the chicken in frozen?
Yes, but you may want to add 30-40 minutes to the cook time.
It’s never recommended to put any frozen meats into your crock. The time it takes the crock to defrost the meat before cooking it allows bacteria to grow.
I use frozen meats all the time in my crockpot and there has never been a problem with someone getting sick.
My mom used to make something like this. We called it “party chicken.” The only thing different is that you roll chipped beef up in the chicken and secure with a toothpick. Sounds kind of weird, but it is phenomenal. Any time you use chipped beef, though, make sure to rinse it first because it is super super salty!
A college roommate introduced me to that and you are right that it was yummy!
I made this tonight and it was really good. I did add about a 1/4c of chicken broth to the gravy to loosen it up a bit. I didnt cook my bacon very well before wrapping it around the chicken. Next time I am going to cook the bacon as much as it can be and still be pliable, it was pretty fatty without cooking it down. Other than that I loved it & will def make again! I served it with mashed potatoes and broccoli… Turned out great!
It’s in the crockpot as we speak. I only had one cream of mushroom and one cream of chicken. I added two garlic cloves (minced) to that. I hope it turns out as good as it looks!!!
I made this after finding on Pinterest. Fabulous recipe! My 5 year old raved about it and wants me to make it often. Thanks for sharing such a winner.
This looks like a great idea. I have found that chicken and the crockpot are good companions. I will try it soon.
Way too much fat..reduce the soup..pre cook the backon first
Could you use greek yogurt instead of sour cream?
Yes!
Awseome cant wait to try! Thanks!!
I made this yesterday it was AWESOME!!! My hubby doesnt like the mushrooms so i used cream of chicken soup instead, and i chopped up onions in it!! The best part was i didnt have time to cook the bacon so i used a packet of REAL bacon bits in it, WAY easier and YUMM! Also, i mixcd in a packet of ranch seasoning with the sour cream!!!! Just a FEW ideas to put in your mind!! this is a good recipe to play around with!!! THANK YOU!!
I am going to try this but I am going to crisp up my bacon and chop it and add right to the soup!
Great recipe. Instead of adding flour, I whisk in a pkg. of brown gravy mix into the sour cream mixture after chicken is cooked.
I don’t have 5-6 hours. I’m planning to throw in the oven. Any success stories with doing it that way and any tips for putting it in the oven instead?
I just made it in the oven- 375 for 45 minutes- I think it was done before that but that is when I checked it again. It was super yummy- I made the cream of chicken soup from scratch to be gluten free.
Just put it in the crockpot!
This is a GREAT recipe! In my attempt to lower the fat and calories in this recipe, I used 98% fat free cream of mushroom and added a teaspoon of fresh mined garlic and used reduced fat sour cream. I served over brown/wild rice and it was delish! I cooked on high for 5 and half hours and it worked out great!
This looks great! I need to use my crockpot more and I have been looking for something new to do with chicken. Going to try this very soon!
I made this tonight in the oven. I baked the chicken in the soup mixture for 45 minutes at 350 then added chopped up cooked turkey bacon on top when it was all done! Was a hit with the family! We had it with salad and a funky shaped pasta. I meant to have mine with brown rice, but I forgot!
I am going to try this but instead of cooking on low for 6-8 hours, I am going to cook on warm. My crockpot gets so hot, I have ruined the past 4 crockpot recipes I’ve tried by over cooking.
Think I could use pork chops instead??
yes
*************cream of mushroom soup HAS GLUTEN in it!!!
Yes, but you can buy a gluten free cream of mushroom soup.
I made my own GF Cream of Chicken Soup for this recipe and it turned out super yummy and I baked it in the oven. 375 for 45 Minutes
My recipe for Cream of Chicken

1/4 tsp pepper
1 Clove of Garlic-Minced
Mix all together
Bring to Boil – Med Heat – STIR CONSTANTLY
Add Cream of Chicken to Recipe.
YUMMY!
I want to use this for a OAMC idea. Ideally, I make things up that go in the freezer. With this dish, should I combine everything and put it in the freezer before cooking, or cook it all up and then freeze it?
Loved this recipe. It was so easy to put in the crockpot and forget about it! My husband and son LOVED it! The chicken was tender and the flavor was oh so good! Thanks for sharing…
Delicious! I would recommend crisping the bacon first other than that it was awesome.
This is amazing! We’ve been eating a lot of chicken lately….this was a great way to switch things up a bit. It is deeeee-lish with egg noodles!
I make my own condensed soups for my family. The taste is yummy and it’s gluten free!
Cream Soup Base
The perfect cream soup base to substitute any time a canned cream soup is recommended. This makes every dish more flavorful!
Prep Time: 5 Minutes
Cook Time: 10 Minutes
Ingredients: 1/4 cup butter
1 Tbsp minced onion
2 Tbsp corn starch
1 Tbsp gluten free flower(I use arrowmills)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 1/4 cups milk
OPTIONAL: 1/4 cup chicken, mushroom, OR celery to make it a specific cream soup
1. Saute minced onion in melted butter in a medium saucepan.
2. Whisk in corn starch, flour, salt and pepper until thoroughly combined.
3. Slowly add milk, whisking to prevent lumps.
4. Heat until thickened, stirring constantly.
5. If you want to make this a specific cream soup, add the extra ingredients (1/4 cup of mushrooms, chicken, or celery) with the minced onion and saute in the butter.
