Description

Hearty slow-cooker chicken and gravy delivers comfort on a plate with tender meat and rich sauce. Creamy goodness awaits you, promising a simple meal that satisfies hunger and warms the soul.


Ingredients

Scale
  • lbs boneless (skinless) chicken breasts, thawed
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 10.25 oz cream of chicken soup
  • 1.74 oz chicken gravy mix
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • Kosher salt (to taste)
  • Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
  • Cooked rice
  • Chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Carefully place chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker, spreading them out evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
  2. Create a smooth gravy base by whisking together cream of chicken soup, chicken gravy mix, and chicken broth in a separate mixing bowl until completely blended.
  3. Generously pour the prepared gravy mixture over the chicken, covering all pieces thoroughly.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and set to low temperature, allowing the chicken to simmer for 4 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. After cooking, use two forks to gently pull apart and shred the chicken directly within the gravy, allowing the meat to absorb the rich flavors.
  6. Fold in sour cream until fully incorporated, creating a creamy and luxurious texture.
  7. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, adjusting to taste and enhancing the overall flavor profile.
  8. Serve the tender, gravy-coated chicken over a bed of fluffy rice or creamy mashed potatoes.
  9. Garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley to add a touch of brightness and visual appeal to the dish.

Notes

  • Ensure chicken breasts are spread out evenly to guarantee uniform cooking and consistent flavor absorption throughout the dish.
  • Whisk the gravy mixture thoroughly to eliminate any potential clumps, creating a smooth and silky sauce that coats the chicken perfectly.
  • Double-check the chicken’s internal temperature reaches 165°F to ensure food safety and prevent any risk of undercooked meat.
  • Replace cream of chicken soup with a homemade version or use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a healthier alternative that maintains creamy texture.
