  • Total Time: 8 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Garlic powder, to taste
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Gravy

  • 2 packets chicken gravy mix
  • 10.5 ounce can cream of chicken soup
  • 2 cups water
  • ½ cup sour cream

Garnish

  • Sliced green onions (optional)

Instructions

  1. Season the Chicken: Season both sides of the boneless, skinless chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper according to your taste preferences. This will enhance the flavor during slow cooking.
  2. Prepare the Gravy Mixture: In the slow cooker, whisk together the two packets of chicken gravy mix, canned cream of chicken soup, and water until smooth and well combined.
  3. Add the Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken breasts into the gravy mixture in the slow cooker, making sure they are fully covered by the gravy to ensure even cooking and flavor infusion.
  4. Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on the low setting for about 6 to 8 hours. This slow cooking process allows the chicken to become tender and the flavors to meld beautifully.
  5. Shred the Chicken: After cooking, use a fork to break the chicken into chunks directly in the slow cooker. This will blend the chicken nicely with the gravy.
  6. Finish with Sour Cream: Stir in the ½ cup of sour cream into the slow cooker to add creaminess and richness to the gravy.
  7. Serve: Serve the creamy chicken and gravy over cooked rice or mashed potatoes. Top with sliced green onions if desired for a fresh, mild onion flavor and garnish.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts if preferred for a juicier texture.
  • Adjust seasoning according to your taste; sometimes the gravy mix can be salty.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
  • For a thicker gravy, you can reduce the water slightly or cook uncovered for the last 30 minutes.
  • Sour cream adds a nice richness but can be replaced with Greek yogurt for a lower-fat option.
