Ingredients

For the Chicken

2 pounds Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts You can use frozen chicken; add an hour to the cooking time.

For the Gravy

10.5 ounces Cream of Chicken Soup Can use cream of mushroom for flavor variety.
1 packet Chicken Gravy Mix A fantastic shortcut for homemade gravy.
1 cup Chicken Broth Vegetable broth is a lighter alternative.

For Seasoning

1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Fresh garlic can be used; adjust quantity accordingly.
1 teaspoon Onion Powder Fresh onions can enhance texture and taste.
1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper Adjust according to taste preferences.
1 teaspoon Dried Thyme Use fresh thyme, increasing quantity since it’s less potent.

Prepare the Chicken: Place boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker in a single layer.
Mix the Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, chicken gravy mix, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and dried thyme. Stir until smooth.
Pour the Sauce Over Chicken: Carefully pour the sauce mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring each piece is fully covered.

Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken and shred into bite-sized pieces.
Blend in the Sour Cream: Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir in the sour cream until well blended.
Reheat and Serve: Cover again and set on low for an additional 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Monitor cooking time to avoid dry chicken. For a thicker gravy, mix cornstarch with cold water near the end of cooking. Using frozen chicken requires an additional hour of cooking time.
