If you prefer, you can use 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts. If you do so, adjust the cook time accordingly. You can also add additional vegetables such as bell peppers, carrots, celery, or green beans to the casserole. To make this casserole a bit healthier, use low-fat or fat-free soups, reduced-fat sour cream, and low-sodium broth.

Recipe Tips
For a cheesy version of this casserole, add 1 cup of shredded cheese when you add the sour cream. You can also substitute the canned soups with a homemade cream sauce. To make the cream sauce, melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add 4 tablespoons of flour and whisk until smooth. Add 2 cups of milk, whisking constantly. Cook until the sauce thickens. Add 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme. Simmer for 5 minutes, then add to the crock pot with the chicken and vegetables.
