Description
A cozy and creamy chicken dinner that cooks low and slow in the crockpot. Made with pantry staples like cream of chicken soup and gravy mix, this comforting dish is perfect over mashed potatoes, noodles, or rice for an easy family meal.
Ingredients
2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
2 packets chicken gravy mix
1 ¾ cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ cup sour cream
1 tablespoon fresh thyme or parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, gravy packets, chicken broth, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth.
2. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker.
3. Pour the gravy mixture over the chicken, ensuring they are fully coated.
4. Cover and cook on low for 5–6 hours or high for 3–4 hours until chicken is very tender.
5. Shred the chicken using two forks in the slow cooker.
6. Stir in the sour cream until the sauce is creamy and smooth.
7. Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles. Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley if using.
Notes
You can substitute cream of mushroom soup for a slightly deeper flavor twist.
Add 4 oz cream cheese along with sour cream for a richer, tangier finish.
Frozen chicken breasts work too—just increase the cook time by 1 hour.
