Put potatoes down in crockpot and then lay the chicken on top of the potatoes. Turn on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours or until chicken reaches 180. When done, take chicken out and put on serving plate to let rest for 10 minutes and then slice.
 Take potatoes out of crock-pot and slit open and add sour cream and butter to these. You have a meal in it's self. If you do not want to just omit the water as the chicken makes it's own juice. The potatoes keeps the chicken from burning on the bottom. If  you do not want the potatoes then just wad up some foil and put on bottom of crock-pot and lay chicken on it but if you do this then add the 1/4 cup water. Make sure the potatoes are wrapped good so they will not become mushy with the juice in the bottom of the crock-pot.
