Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs

Gravy

  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 packet (1 oz) onion soup mix
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup (or homemade substitute)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp paprika (optional)

Optional

  • 1/4 cup sour cream (for creamier gravy)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crockpot: Arrange the boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs evenly at the bottom of the crockpot, ensuring they are spread out for even cooking.
  2. Mix the Gravy: In a medium bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, onion soup mix, cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika until smooth and well blended.
  3. Pour Over Chicken: Pour the gravy mixture evenly over the chicken inside the crockpot, coating all pieces.
  4. Cook: Cover with the crockpot lid and cook on low heat for 6-7 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
  5. Shred the Chicken: Using two forks, shred the chicken directly inside the crockpot, mixing it thoroughly into the thickened gravy to absorb maximum flavor.
  6. Optional Creamy Finish: Stir in 1/4 cup sour cream to create a richer, creamier gravy if desired.
  7. Serve: Serve the shredded chicken and gravy hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or biscuits. Garnish with fresh parsley for an added touch of color and flavor if preferred.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts for a juicier, more flavorful dish.
  • If you prefer a thicker gravy, remove the lid for the last 30 minutes to allow excess liquid to evaporate.
  • Feel free to customize the spices to your taste, adding herbs like thyme or rosemary.
  • Use homemade cream of chicken soup for a healthier, preservative-free alternative.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
