Cuisine: American
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 6 1/2 to 7 1/2 hours 
Total Time: 6 1/2 to 7 1/2 hours
Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 4 boneless/skinless chicken breasts
• 10.5 ounces (1 can) cream of chicken soup
• 2 ounces (2 packets) chicken gravy mix
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 8 ounces sour cream

Here's how to make it: 

1. Put the chicken breast, cream of chicken soup, gravy mixes and water into the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours. (You could use boneless chicken thighs instead of breasts. To reduce the sodium, use low-sodium gravy mix and the healthier version of cream of chicken soup.)
2. Shred the chicken with two forks. Add the sour cream. Season with black pepper, if desired. Stir, cover and cook for about 30 minutes more. (For more flavor and freshness, throw in some fresh chopped herbs.) Serve over egg noodles, mashed potatoes or rice.
