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
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Topping
- Sliced green onions, for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Season the Chicken: Season both sides of the boneless, skinless chicken breasts evenly with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper according to your taste preferences.
- Prepare the Gravy Base: In your slow cooker, whisk together the two packets of chicken gravy mix, cream of chicken soup, and 2 cups of water until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Chicken to Slow Cooker: Place the seasoned chicken breasts into the slow cooker, ensuring they are fully submerged and coated in the gravy mixture for even cooking and flavor infusion.
- Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low heat for about 6 to 8 hours, allowing the chicken to become tender and absorb the rich gravy flavors.
- Shred the Chicken: Once the cooking time is complete, use two forks to break the cooked chicken breasts into chunks within the slow cooker, mixing them into the gravy.
- Incorporate Sour Cream: Stir in 1/2 cup of sour cream to the shredded chicken and gravy mixture to add creaminess and richness to the dish.
- Serve: Dish out the creamy chicken and gravy over cooked rice or mashed potatoes, and optionally top with sliced green onions for a fresh, vibrant garnish.
