- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup (120ml) sour cream (optional, for extra creaminess)
- Chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Slow Cooker
- Spray the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Combine the Ingredients

- Pour the gravy mixture over the chicken, ensuring it is fully coated.
Step 3: Cook the Chicken
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 6–7 hours or high heat for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shredded.
Step 4: Shred the Chicken
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks.
- Stir the shredded chicken back into the gravy in the slow cooker.
Step 5: Add Sour Cream (Optional)
- For an extra creamy texture, stir in the sour cream just before serving. Mix well to combine.
Step 6: Serve
- Spoon the creamy chicken and gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.
- Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh, colorful touch.
