Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Sauce
- 1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of chicken soup
- 1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of mushroom soup (or another cream of chicken soup if preferred)
- 1 packet (1 ounce) chicken gravy mix
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth or water
Optional
- 2 tablespoons sour cream (for extra creaminess)
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock pot, laying them in an even layer.
- Make the gravy mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, chicken gravy mix, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and chicken broth until smooth and well combined.
- Combine and cook: Pour the prepared gravy mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the crock pot. Cover with the lid.
- Slow cook the chicken: Cook on low for 6 to 7 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is very tender and can be easily shredded with forks.
- Shred the chicken: Once cooked, shred the chicken directly in the crock pot using two forks, mixing it into the creamy gravy sauce thoroughly.
- Add sour cream (optional): For a richer and creamier texture, stir in 2 tablespoons of sour cream at the end of cooking if desired.
- Serve: Serve the creamy chicken and gravy warm over mashed potatoes, rice, egg noodles, or toast. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if using.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken thighs for chicken breasts to add more flavor and tenderness.
- For a lower sodium option, use reduced-sodium soups and gravy mix.
- Leftovers can be stored refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
