Ingredients:
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 21 oz condensed cream of chicken soup
- 0.87 oz chicken gravy mix packet
- 1 oz dry ranch seasoning packet
- 0.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 0.5 tsp cracked black pepper
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions:
- Prep the base. Whisk the 21 oz condensed cream of chicken soup, 0.5 cup chicken broth, and 0.87 oz gravy mix in a medium bowl until smooth.
- Season the liquid. Stir in the 1 oz ranch seasoning, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, and 0.5 tsp cracked black pepper into the soup mixture.
- Layer the protein. Place the 2 lbs chicken thighs in an even layer at the bottom of the Crockpot.
- Cover with sauce. Pour the prepared gravy mixture over the chicken, ensuring every piece is submerged.
- Set the timer. Cover and cook on LOW for 4 hours until the chicken is tender enough to pull apart easily with a fork.
- Shred the meat. Remove the lid and use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the pot. Note: Shredding inside the pot allows the meat to soak up the gravy immediately.
- Add the creamy finish. Stir in the 0.5 cup sour cream gently until the sauce looks uniform and glossy.
- Final Rest. Let it sit on the warm setting for 10 minutes to allow the sour cream to temper and the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Garnish and serve. Sprinkle with 1 tbsp fresh parsley until bright green flecks contrast with the rich gravy.
