The Scoop

Tender chicken slowly cooks in a creamy, savory gravy made with cream of chicken soup and seasoned gravy mix, then gets finished with sour cream for extra richness.
Spoon it over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles, and let the gravy do what gravy does best: make everything better.
Hack it:
Swap chicken breasts for boneless chicken thighs for an even richer, more tender result.
Add sliced mushrooms, onions, or carrots to the slow cooker for extra flavor and texture.
Stir in a little Dijon, Worcestershire sauce, or smoked paprika to give the gravy more depth.
Use turkey gravy mix for a slightly different flavor, or add a splash of chicken stock in place of some of the water.
Finish with fresh parsley, chives, thyme, or plenty of cracked black pepper instead of -or alongside- green onions.
Serve it over biscuits, egg noodles, mashed cauliflower, baked potatoes, or toasted bread when you want to switch things up.
Leftovers:
Turn the chicken and gravy into an open-faced hot sandwich over toasted bread.
Spoon it over baked potatoes with shredded cheddar and green onions.
Toss the chicken and gravy with cooked noodles for a creamy shortcut casserole.
Add peas and carrots and serve over biscuits for an easy pot-pie-style dinner.
