Ingredients

Scale

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)

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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use fresh garlic powder and freshly ground black pepper.
  • This dish pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles.
  • To reduce sodium, use low-sodium chicken gravy mix and soup.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Adding a splash of white wine to the gravy mixture before cooking can enhance the depth of flavor.
  • Green onions are optional but add a nice freshness and slight crunch.
