I loved this recipe. I omitted the beef, and added fresh mushrooms and onion. The chicken was so tender! Very good.

This was a great dish even though I changed a few things. I doubled the sauce, added onion soup powder, package of sliced mushrooms, cheddar cheese, and I used 8oz of rinsed dried beef. It was absolutely delish!! I served it with a side of wild and long grain rice, and green beans. This one's a keeper!!!

This is such an easy recipe. The chicken comes out tender & juicy. I have made this several times & it is great every time. I have added different spices to change the flavor (like paprika & fresh black pepper)and that worked well too.

I couldn't get dried beef, so I subsituted for fried bacon and cut them up into bits. I added 1 can of cream of mushroom & potatoe & 1 can of cream of chicken - love gravy! Added roasted garlic - 1 tablespoon and 1/2 cup of dry sherry. Simple recipe and variations of this recipe can be done. Thank you :)

Local supermarkets usually carry dried beef in the canned meats isle. At my local store, it is near the canned tuna, salmon and hash.

I rated this once and then came back to rate it again. I first gave it 5 stars then came back and gave it three. You see...I make this and have for years. I make it by taking regular chicken breasts and lining a 9x13 pan and mixing one can of soup and a small carton of sour cream and covering the top. Sometimes I line the bottom of the pan with "buddig" beef. (the little packages in the packaged meat aisle) At first I gave it 5 stars but then after I fed it to my family - they all thought the crockpot version was not as good as the regular oven version I make. (not sure why but it turned out much juicier in the fast method. I also wrap a slice of bacon around each piece of chicken when I am using it for company or if I have bacon in the fridge - I then bake it for 45 minutes on 400 - For me - this turns out better and the family agrees. Perhaps I cooked it too long - but I took it off way sooner than the recipe called for already - so watch the time - or it will dry it out.

I used my larger crockpot and after reading the other reviews, I changed my recipe to 2 lbs. frozen chicken, 1 1/2 C. sour cream, two cans of soup and one 4.5 oz jar of dried beef that I rinsed. The chicken was the most tender I've ever had. Leftovers were great! Will definitely make again for company.

This was fairly tasty but I made a few changes to it. First, instead of dried meat I used prosciutto and just enough to form loose layers. Second, instead of a slow cooker I placed it in a casserole and baked at 275 for 3 hours covered with aluminum foil. Third, since it didn't look incredibly appetizing I sprinkled some paprika over the top when it was done, gave it a nice flavor. Lastly, to give some contrast to the mouthfeel, I sprinkled some japanese bread crumbs over it right before serving with butter garlic rice and broccoli and cheese.

I thought this was very dry and bland. However, my husband really liked it so I gave it three stars.

quite tasty! i only had a ( family sized ) 4oz package of dried beef so that is what i used. didn't rinse it before using and the salt content wasn't overpowering. next time i will add some sliced mushrooms and white pepper to the soup mixture. might venture to add some more beef but will definitely rinse it first. i served the chix with wild/long grain rice combo and fresh broccoli spears; made sure to put the beef on top of the chix ( it kind of moulded itself to the breasts! ) to complete the presentation ... we will be enjoying this again in the near future!!

This seemed like a great idea, but we found that using the 2 jars of dried beef just made things WAY TOO SALTY. If I did it again I would cut the beef back.

I've gotta admit, all of the glowing reviews of this one surprised the heck out of me. It was VERY dry, the flour.soup/sour cream mixture turne into a strange, sponge-like thing and it smelled wrong. I swear I followed the recipe to the letter. Any idea what I could've done wrong? If I could figure out how to get the glowing results everyone else did, I'd try it again.

Very delicious and easy to cook and make. I rinsed the dried beef and used healthy low sodium cream of mushroom soup. Cooked 4 hours in oven at 275.

This was delicious! I did use the two jars of beef but will probably do as some of the other reviewers suggested and use only one jar or use packaged beef or at least rinse the beef to reduce the saltiness. My hubby is a big salt-eater, though, so it was just fine for him, but it was a tad salty for me. This one will definitely get a lot of use from us.

I used only one jar of beef AND I soaked it before cooking, and the dish wasn't quite salty enough for our tastes. I can tell it has a lot of potential, though. Next time, I'll try NOT soaking the one jar of beef. The recipe definitely needs pepper, and I think I'll try adding some fresh parsley next time. We served it over white rice and it was a bit bland, but very tender.
