Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Gravy

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts (Approximately 1.5 lbs)
  • 1 packet ranch dressing mix (1 oz)
  • 1 packet brown gravy mix (1 oz)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz can)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Garnish

  • Chopped parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts evenly in the crockpot to start the slow cooking process.
  2. Make the sauce mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together ranch dressing mix, brown gravy mix, chicken broth, and cream of chicken soup until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Combine chicken and sauce: Pour the prepared mixture over the chicken breasts in the crockpot, ensuring all pieces are coated evenly in the sauce.
  4. Cook the chicken: Set the crockpot to low heat and cook for 6 hours, or until the chicken breasts are fully cooked and tender.
  5. Shred the chicken: Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crockpot, mixing with the gravy to absorb the flavors.
  6. Add sour cream and season: Stir in the sour cream thoroughly, then season the dish with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
  7. Serve: Serve the chicken and gravy over rice or mashed potatoes, then garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of freshness and color.
  8. Optional additions: For extra flavor, consider adding chopped onions or garlic into the crockpot at the beginning of the cooking process.
  9. Storage tip: Leftovers can be stored in the freezer for future meals, maintaining the dish’s delicious taste and texture.
