Mix everything together in your crockpot except for the sour cream.
Place the seasoned chicken into the mixture and pour the juices over top.

Once cooked, shred the chicken with a fork and then stir in the sour cream.

We’ve made this chicken and gravy a few times, and to be honest, I actually prefer it over rice. It adds a bit more texture to the dish. Either way, it definitely reminds me of Thanksgiving dinner. It’s incredibly creamy and delicious, especially in the fall and winter when you want a big plate of comfort food.

You could also make this chicken in and Instant pot if you’re looking for something fast to make and don’t have all day to wait for the chicken to become tender.

Recipe Notes

You may want to add a touch of salt at the end. My family is salt sensitive and find the salt that's in the soup and gravy mix to be plenty.
I like my gravy thick and creamy, but you can add an additional 1/2 cup of water if you prefer it more juicy.
