Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 can (10.25 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 2 packets (1.74 oz total) chicken gravy mix
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • Kosher salt (to taste)
  • Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

For Serving & Garnish

  • Cooked rice or mashed potatoes
  • Fresh parsley (chopped)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken

  • Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker in an even layer.

2. Make the Gravy Mixture

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, chicken gravy mix, and chicken broth until smooth.

3. Cook the Chicken

  • Pour the gravy mixture over the chicken, making sure each piece is covered.
  • Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 4 hours (or HIGH for 2 hours) until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

4. Shred the Chicken

  • Once the chicken is fully cooked, use two forks to shred it directly in the slow cooker.
  • Stir well so the chicken absorbs all the delicious gravy.

5. Add Sour Cream & Seasoning

  • Stir in the sour cream for extra creaminess.
  • Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

6. Serve & Enjoy!

  • Spoon the chicken and gravy over rice, mashed potatoes, or biscuits.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley for a final touch.

Notes

  • Use low-sodium ingredients to prevent the dish from being too salty.
  • Don’t overcook the chicken—4 hours on LOW is perfect for juicy, tender meat.
  • For a thicker gravy, mix 1 tbsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp cold water and stir it in before serving.
  • Chicken thighs can be used instead of chicken breasts for extra flavor.
  • Pairs perfectly with mashed potatoes, rice, biscuits, or roasted vegetables.
