1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup sour cream

4. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
5. Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks, or slice it into chunks if you prefer.

Notes
Do not stir in the sour cream at the beginning, or the sauce can lose its smooth creamy texture during the long cook time.
