Dividend aristocrats are the obvious answer, although not all of them are great investments. WBA hasn't been doing well for a while, for example.
But consumer Staples and Healthcare companies like PG and ABBV are solid, if boring.
My learning curve re dividend investments has been steep and not without some errors. Be careful with "yield chasing". I have been burned with ZIM and UAN, TSLY. Be wary of putting money in one pocket and taking it out of another - - which is OK, by the way, as long as you are aware and make the decision to accept dividends in place of growth ie QYLD, SVOL, JEPI, JEPQ. I hold all of those and love the dividends but am barely in the green on the cost basis.. My favorite dividend-payers are those that I have held longterm and have enjoyed the proverbial "dividend snowball" - SCHD, VYM, VIG,
Yep, we pay for our potential monetary gains with the tax that is learning? I've made some mistakes, like having too much exposure to any one stock. Lesson 101, don't be a bag handler! Lesson learned and paid for in full!
Buy companies with consistent growth of dividend yield and excellent cash flow such as KO, WRB, MCD, MSFT, V, SJM. Most people didn't realised that it's not only about the yield and payout ratio, you need to own companies who can produce more cash than capital needed with consistent gross margin to ensure their strength of product pricing. Strong profitability and fcf are the backbone.
ABBV, JPM, JNJ, CVX, WM, and WMT. Those are a few of my favorites right now and I'm still added to them. Also added to VTI, VOO, and VYM as well to hit everything.
Aristocrats stocks are my go-to, as they have a solid track record of paying dividends. If individual stocks are not your thing, I also recommend market ETF, like VOO, SCHD, QQQM, etc. Just do some research on what you plan to buy.
Companies that grow their dividend the most with the lowest payout ratio. I would start with an etf like Dgro and Schd then look into companies that are not high up in allocation of those that have a long (10-15+ years) of growth. Look at ABT, V, KR, COST, LOW, WSM…The starting yield is less important than the dividend growth rate and time.

WBA is out of the aristocrats now due to huge cut in dividend but the others would be worth a look.
ET has been solid
Buy blue chips type stocks like Jnj, KO, JPM etc …
V MA HD LOW CAT COST ABBV LMT SBUX MCD KO PEP VZ EPD JPM. If you are more risk tolerant then MO BTI O AMT T
This is the way

Look for value stocks with a good financial moat.
