Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
Gravy and Sauce
- 2 packets chicken gravy mix
- 1 can cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz)
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Prepare the base mixture: Whisk together the cream of chicken soup, chicken gravy mix, garlic powder, onion powder, and water in the bottom of the slow cooker until fully combined.
- Add the chicken: Place the boneless skinless chicken breasts into the slow cooker on top of the mixture, then spoon some of the sauce over the chicken to coat it evenly.
- Cook the chicken: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 6 to 7 hours or on high for about 4 hours. Cook until the chicken is fully cooked through and tender.
- Shred the chicken: Using two forks, shred the chicken directly inside the slow cooker to mix it with the sauce.
- Add sour cream: Stir in the sour cream until the sauce is smooth and creamy, enhancing the richness of the gravy.
- Serve: Spoon the creamy chicken and gravy over your choice of mashed potatoes, rice, noodles, or biscuits for a comforting meal.
Notes
- Allow the dish to rest for 10 minutes before serving to let the gravy thicken slightly.
- You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream if you prefer a lighter option.
- When reheating, add a splash of broth or milk to maintain the creamy texture.
