Ingredients
Chicken
- 3 to 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Gravy Mixture
- 1 (10.5-oz) can Unsalted Cream of Chicken Soup
- 2 (0.87-oz) envelopes chicken gravy mix
- 1/2 cup water or chicken broth (optional)
To Serve
- Hot steamed rice
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Place the boneless skinless chicken breasts inside the slow cooker. Optionally, season with salt and pepper to taste for extra flavor.
- Make the Gravy Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the can of unsalted cream of chicken soup, the two envelopes of chicken gravy mix, and the optional 1/2 cup of water or chicken broth until smooth. Pour this mixture evenly over the chicken in the slow cooker.
- Cook in the Crockpot: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set the cooker to LOW heat. Allow the chicken to cook gently for 4 to 6 hours, during which it will become tender and infused with the creamy gravy flavors.
- Shred and Serve: Once cooking is complete, use forks to break the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces directly in the crockpot. Serve this hearty chicken and gravy mixture hot over freshly steamed rice for a complete meal.
Notes
- For added flavor, season the chicken with your favorite herbs such as thyme or rosemary before cooking.
- If you prefer a thicker gravy, you can remove the lid during the last 30 minutes to reduce the sauce slightly.
- Use chicken broth instead of water in the gravy mix for a richer taste.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
