Ingredients

Units Scale

 

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 packets (0.87 ounces each) chicken gravy mix
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 3/4 cups water or low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (optional, for added creaminess)
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

 

  1. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. Mix the Gravy: In a medium bowl, whisk together the chicken gravy mix, cream of chicken soup, water (or chicken broth), onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper until smooth.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Pour the gravy mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-covered.
  4. Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shreddable.
  5. Shred the Chicken: Using two forks, shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker. Stir to combine the shredded chicken with the gravy.
  6. Add Creaminess (Optional): If a creamier texture is desired, stir in the sour cream until well incorporated.
  7. Serve: Spoon the chicken and gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or biscuits. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

 

  • For added depth of flavor, consider using a mix of cream of chicken and cream of mushroom soups.
  • To reduce sodium content, opt for low-sodium gravy mixes and soups.
  • Adding vegetables like sliced mushrooms, onions, or peas can enhance the nutritional value and flavor of the dish.
