  3. Carefully place the seared chicken breasts into the crock pot, ensuring they are fully coated in the sauce.
  4. Cover the crock pot with its lid and set to cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
  5. Once the cooking time is up, remove the chicken using two forks and shred it in the sauce. Stir well.
  6. Stir in the sour cream to the shredded chicken mixture until fully incorporated. Garnish as desired.
