Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 10.5 oz can cream of chicken soup
  • 20.87 oz envelopes dry chicken gravy mix
  • ½ cup water or chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 pounds chicken breasts boneless and skinless
  • 2 tablespoons butter sliced into pats
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Equipment

  • 5 or 6 quart slow cooker

Method
 

  1. In the slow cooker, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, dry chicken gravy mix, water or chicken broth, garlic powder, and ground black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and stir to coat in the sauce. Place the butter slices on top of the chicken. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Stir in the sour cream 30 minutes before serving. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then shred it into bite-sized pieces. Stir the chicken back into the sauce. Serve over mashed potatoes, and garnish with parsley.

Notes

  • Tip 1: Try a different cream soup for a new flavor, like cream of mushroom.
  • Tip 2: To thin out the gravy, add chicken broth or water.
  • Tip 3: Don’t overcook the chicken; check for doneness early.
  • Tip 4: Shred the chicken easily using two forks or a stand mixer.
  • Tip 5: Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
