Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Seasonings

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp dried parsley (plus more for garnish)

Gravy

  • 1 ½ cups chicken broth
  • 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
  • ½ cup sour cream (optional, for extra creaminess)

Instructions

  1. Season Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season all sides generously and evenly with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt to ensure the meat is flavorful throughout.
  2. Combine in Slow Cooker: Place the seasoned chicken pieces into the slow cooker. Pour the chicken broth and the entire can of cream of chicken soup over the chicken. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of dried parsley evenly on top to add a gentle herbal flavor.
  3. Cook: Cover the slow cooker with its lid. Cook on the LOW setting for 6-8 hours, or on the HIGH setting for 3-4 hours until the chicken is very tender and easily shredded with a fork, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
  4. Shred Chicken and Finish Gravy: Carefully remove the cooked chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. If desired, whisk the sour cream into the remaining liquid in the slow cooker until the gravy is smooth and creamy. Return the shredded chicken to the gravy and stir to combine.
  5. Serve: Let the shredded chicken heat through in the creamy gravy for 5-10 minutes on the slow cooker’s warm setting or stovetop if preferred. Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving. Serve warm over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles for a satisfying meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken thighs for chicken breasts for a richer flavor and more tender texture.
  • Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste preferences, especially if your chicken broth is already salted.
  • The sour cream is optional but adds a lovely creaminess to the gravy; you can omit it for a lighter version.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • This dish pairs well with mashed potatoes, rice, egg noodles, or steamed vegetables.
