Tips for Making Slow Cooker Chicken a la King:

Monitor the Internal Temperature of the Chicken – The chicken needs to be at least 165 degrees F when checked with a food thermometer. This will be between 3 hours to 3 1/2 hours of cooking.
Room Temperature Sour Cream – The sour cream will mix the best when at room temperature, or you can also heat it slowly with the liquid from the slow cooker. This will give you the smoothest sauce.

Add Different Flavors – If you prefer spicy chicken, add a few drops of hot sauce or red pepper flakes. It can be more kid-friendly by topping it with cheese.
