Tips

• For richer flavor, add a small splash of chicken broth before cooking or a pat of butter to the gravy after thickening.
• Leftovers store well—refrigerate up to 3 days and reheat gently to avoid separating the gravy.

FAQ

Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?
Yes—thighs stay extra tender and are great for slow cooking.

Can I cook it on high?
You can cook on high for about 2–2.5 hours, but low heat gives the best texture.

What should I serve with it?
Mashed potatoes, rice, egg noodles, or biscuits all pair perfectly with the gravy.

Can I freeze the leftovers?
Yes, but be aware the sour cream can slightly change texture after thawing. Freeze before adding sour cream for best results.
