In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, cream of chicken soup, minced garlic, dried parsley, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until smooth and set aside.
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock pot in a single layer.
Pour the chicken broth over the chicken breasts to keep them moist during cooking.
Spread the sour cream mixture evenly over the chicken, making sure each piece is completely coated.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 4–5 hours or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts from the crock pot and place them on a serving plate. Cover with foil to keep warm.
In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes to create a roux. Gradually add 1 cup of the cooking liquid from the crock pot to the roux, whisking constantly until thickened.
Pour the thickened sauce back into the crock pot and stir it into the remaining sour cream mixture to create a smooth, creamy gravy.
Serve the chicken breasts with the sour cream gravy spooned over the top. Pair with rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
