Description

Ingredients
2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts or chicken thighs
1 can cream of chicken soup
2 packets chicken gravy mix
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water, optional
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, optional for garnish
Instructions
1. Whisk the cream of chicken soup, chicken gravy mix, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, dried thyme, and butter together in the slow cooker until mostly smooth.
2. Add the chicken and turn it to coat well in the gravy mixture.
3. Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
4. Remove the chicken, shred it into large pieces or leave it whole, then return it to the slow cooker.
5. Stir in the sour cream until the gravy is creamy and smooth.
6. If needed, stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 10 to 15 minutes more until the gravy thickens.
7. Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
Do not add the sour cream at the beginning, or the sauce can lose its smooth creamy texture during the long cook time.
