Ingredients
- 2–3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 packets chicken gravy mix
- 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
- 1 ½ cups water or chicken broth
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ cup sour cream (optional, stirred in at the end)
Instructions
- Add Chicken: Place chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot. Season with garlic powder and black pepper.
- Prepare Gravy: In a separate bowl, whisk together chicken gravy mix, cream of chicken soup, and water or broth until smooth.
- Pour & Cook: Pour the gravy mixture over the chicken. Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours (or high for 3–4 hours) until the chicken is tender.
- Shred Chicken: Shred the chicken directly in the crockpot using two forks and stir to combine with the gravy.
- Finish & Serve: For extra creaminess, stir in sour cream before serving. Serve over rice, mashed potatoes, or egg noodles.
Notes
- You can use frozen chicken breasts, just ensure they’re separated.
- Add frozen vegetables during the last hour for a one-pot meal.
- Substitute chicken thighs for richer flavor.
- Add paprika or cayenne for a slight kick.
- To thicken gravy, use a cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp cold water).
