Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Garlic powder, salt, black pepper (to taste)
2 packets chicken gravy mix
10.5 ounce can cream of chicken soup
2 cups water
1/2 cup sour cream
Sliced green onions (for topping, optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Season both sides of the chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 2: In your slow cooker, whisk together the chicken gravy mix, cream of chicken soup, and water until smooth.
Step 3: Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the slow cooker, making sure they are fully covered in the gravy mixture.
Step 4: Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
Step 5: Once cooked, shred the chicken into chunks using a fork.
Step 6: Stir in the sour cream until well combined. Serve over rice or mashed potatoes and top with sliced green onions, if desired.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of onion powder or dried thyme to the seasoning before cooking.
Use shredded rotisserie chicken to save time if you’re short on cooking hours.
Swap sour cream for Greek yogurt for a tangier finish and added protein.
Try topping with fresh parsley instead of green onions for a different fresh note.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, stirring occasionally to ensure even warming. Avoid boiling when reheating sour cream-based sauces to prevent curdling.

How to Serve

A white scalloped plate holds a serving of shredded chicken covered in creamy light brown gravy, placed on a bed of white rice. The chicken is tender and mixed well with the smooth gravy, sprinkled with small bits of green herbs on top. To the back left of the plate, there is a golden biscuit with a soft, crumbly texture. A silver spoon with a decorative handle rests on the right edge of the plate, partially in the gravy. The plate is set on a wooden surface with a white marbled texture in the background. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
