Instructions
- Turn crockpot on high and place chicken breasts, quartered onion, and herbs in it.
- In a medium saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of the butter and stir in flour.
- Cook for a few minutes, until flour just starts to turn golden.
- Add the chicken stock and heavy cream, whisking constantly.
- Let simmer for 3-5 more minutes until thickened.
- Add salt and pepper.
- Pour over everything in the crockpot and cook on high for 3 ½ or 4 hours, until the chicken is shreddable. You can also cook on low for 8 hours, but I find this dries out the chicken.
- Halfway through cooking, check the liquid in the pot, add more chicken stock if it starts looking dry or too thick. The consistency should be slightly thicker than cream.
- When chicken is done, remove herb sprigs (if you used fresh herbs) and onion quarters.
- Shred chicken.
- Stir in sour cream, poppy seeds, parsley and chives and leave covered in crockpot.
- Turn oven on to broil on high.
- Crush package of Ritz and sprinkle over top of the mixture in the crockpot.
- Drizzle remaining 4 tablespoons melted butter over the top.
- Remove ceramic insert from crockpot and place in oven.
- Broil on high for just a few minutes (keep your eye on it!!) until the crackers are slightly crisp and darker in color.
