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

Finishing Touches

  • ½ cup sour cream
  • Sliced green onions (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Season the Chicken: Pat the boneless, skinless chicken breasts dry and season both sides generously with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to impart flavor.
  2. Prepare the Gravy Mixture: In your slow cooker, whisk together the 2 packets of chicken gravy mix, the cream of chicken soup, and 2 cups of water until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add the Chicken to the Slow Cooker: Place the seasoned chicken breasts into the gravy mixture, ensuring they are fully submerged or well-coated in the gravy.
  4. Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours, allowing the chicken to become tender and infused with the savory gravy flavors.
  5. Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, use a fork to break the chicken breasts into chunks or shred them directly in the gravy for a hearty texture.
  6. Finish the Gravy: Stir in ½ cup of sour cream into the slow cooker to enrich the gravy and add creaminess.
  7. Serve: Spoon the chicken and gravy over cooked rice or mashed potatoes and garnish with sliced green onions for a fresh, vibrant finish.

Notes

  • For thicker gravy, reduce the water to 1.5 cups or cook uncovered for the last 30 minutes.
  • You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
  • Adding fresh herbs like thyme or parsley can enhance the flavor complexity.
  • Use chicken thighs instead of breasts for a juicier, more flavorful result.
  • This recipe pairs wonderfully with steamed vegetables or a crisp green salad.
