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
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- Sliced green onions, for topping (optional)
- Season the chicken: Season both sides of the boneless, skinless chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper according to your taste preferences.
- Prepare the gravy base: In your slow cooker, whisk together the chicken gravy mix, cream of chicken soup, and water until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add the chicken to the slow cooker: Place the seasoned chicken breasts into the slow cooker, making sure they are fully covered by the gravy mixture to ensure even cooking and flavor absorption.
- Cook the chicken: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for approximately 6 to 8 hours, allowing the chicken to become tender and infused with the creamy gravy.
- Shred the chicken: Once the cooking time is complete, use a fork to break the chicken into chunks, mixing it well into the gravy for a hearty texture.
- Finish with sour cream and serve: Stir in the sour cream to add a creamy richness, then serve the chicken and gravy over cooked rice or mashed potatoes. Garnish with sliced green onions if desired for a fresh finish.
