Ingredients
Chicken and Base Ingredients
- 1 cup diced yellow onions
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Gravy Ingredients
- 10.5 oz can condensed cream of chicken soup
- 2 packets chicken gravy mix
- ⅓ cup water
- ½ teaspoon ground sage
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon parsley flakes
Instructions
- Prep Crock Pot: Spray the inside of the Crock Pot with cooking spray to prevent sticking and make clean-up easier.
- Layer Ingredients: Place the diced onions in an even layer at the bottom of the Crock Pot. Arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer over the onions to ensure even cooking.
- Make Gravy: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of chicken soup, chicken gravy mix packets, water, ground sage, black pepper, and parsley flakes until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour and Cook: Pour the prepared gravy mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the Crock Pot. Cover with the lid and cook on LOW heat setting for 5 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the chicken to become tender.
- Shred and Serve: After cooking, remove the lid and stir the chicken and gravy together, breaking the chicken breasts apart with a spoon to shred. Serve hot over mashed potatoes or rice for a comforting meal.
Notes
- Use fresh herbs if available for enhanced flavor.
- For thicker gravy, cook uncovered for the last 30 minutes.
- Chicken thighs can be substituted for a juicier texture.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Can be doubled for larger groups using a bigger slow cooker.
