Ingredients

Chicken and Gravy

  • 1 1/2 cups of water
  • 3 chicken breasts
  • 1 1/4 cup of condensed chicken soup
  • 2 packets of chicken gravy granules
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup sour cream


Instructions

  1. Prepare Slow Cooker: Turn on your slow cooker to the “low” setting to begin warming it up for cooking.
  2. Mix Gravy Base: In the slow cooker insert, add 1 1/2 cups of water, 1 1/4 cup of condensed chicken soup, and 2 packets of chicken gravy granules. Stir these ingredients together until well combined to form the gravy base.
  3. Season Chicken and Gravy: Season the gravy mixture with 1/2 tsp paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp ground black pepper, and 1/2 tsp salt. Separately, season the chicken breasts with black pepper, garlic powder, and salt to taste for enhanced flavor.
  4. Add Chicken to Slow Cooker: Place the seasoned chicken breasts into the slow cooker, submerging them into the gravy mixture.
  5. Cook Chicken: Secure the lid on the slow cooker and let the chicken cook on low for 4 to 5 hours until fully cooked and tender.
  6. Slice Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts and cut to your desired thickness or shred as preferred.
  7. Finish with Sour Cream: Stir 1/2 cup of sour cream into the gravy mixture, then pour the creamy gravy over the sliced chicken just before serving for a rich, smooth finish.

Notes

  • Ensure to cook the chicken thoroughly to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for food safety.
  • You can adjust seasoning levels according to personal taste preferences.
  • Sour cream should be added at the end to prevent curdling during cooking.
  • This dish pairs well with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
  • If using frozen chicken breasts, add additional cooking time until fully cooked.
