  • Total Time: 4 hours 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place chicken breasts in the slow cooker.
  2. Stir together heavy cream, chicken broth, sour cream, butter, flour, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  3. Pour the mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker.
  4. Cover and cook on Low for 4–5 hours or High for 2–3 hours, until chicken shreds easily.
  5. Shred chicken in the crockpot with two forks and stir to combine with the gravy.
  6. Season to taste, garnish with parsley, and serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.

Notes

  • For a thicker gravy, mix 1 tsp cornstarch with 1 tbsp cold water and stir into the crockpot during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • For extra flavor, sauté onions and mushrooms before adding to the slow cooker.
  • Use full-fat dairy for the richest, creamiest texture.
