Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 packet (1 oz) onion soup mix

1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup

1 cup chicken broth

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup sour cream

1 tablespoon soy sauce (as an alternative to Worcestershire)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Begin by placing the boneless, skinless chicken breasts directly in the bottom of the crockpot, ensuring they are arranged in a single layer.

    In a mixing bowl, combine the onion soup mix, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, garlic powder, dried thyme, black pepper, sour cream, and soy sauce. Stir until all ingredients are fully blended into a smooth mixture.

      Carefully pour the soup mixture over the chicken in the crockpot, making sure the chicken is generously coated with the flavorful gravy.

        Secure the lid on your crockpot and choose to cook on the low setting for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The chicken should be tender and easily shred with a fork once fully cooked.

          After the cooking time has elapsed, remove the chicken from the crockpot and shred it using two forks until it reaches a desired texture. Return the shredded chicken back into the crockpot and stir well to combine with the gravy.

            Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more black pepper or garlic powder for an extra kick if desired. Serve the savory chicken and gravy piping hot over your choice of rice, creamy mashed potatoes, or egg noodles. Finish by garnishing with a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
