Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 (10.5 ounces) chicken broth
Soups and Gravy:
- 1 (10.5 ounces) can cream of chicken soup
- 1 (10.5 ounces) can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 packet chicken gravy mix
Seasonings and Creaminess:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Arrange chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker, creating a single layer for even cooking.
- In a mixing bowl, thoroughly combine cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, chicken gravy mix, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and well-integrated.
- Generously pour the seasoned soup mixture over the chicken, ensuring complete and uniform coverage.
- Secure the slow cooker lid and cook on low temperature for 6-8 hours or high temperature for 4-5 hours, allowing the chicken to become tender and fully cooked.
- Carefully remove the cooked chicken from the slow cooker and use two forks to shred the meat into bite-sized pieces.
- Incorporate sour cream into the existing gravy, stirring gently until the texture becomes creamy and uniform.
- Reintroduce the shredded chicken into the gravy, mixing thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavors and consistent coating.
- Transfer the creamy chicken to a serving dish, garnishing with freshly chopped parsley for added color and flavor. Serve hot and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Marinate chicken in the gravy mixture overnight for deeper flavor infusion and more tender meat.
- Replace cream soups with homemade versions or low-sodium alternatives for healthier options.
- Use an immersion blender to create an extra smooth, velvety gravy consistency before adding chicken back.
- Cool completely and store in airtight containers for up to 3 months, making meal prep a breeze.
