Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Gravy Mixture
- 2 packets chicken gravy mix
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
To Serve
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
- Mashed potatoes or rice
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot, ensuring they are spread out evenly for consistent cooking.
- Make the Gravy Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chicken gravy mix, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Combine Chicken and Gravy: Pour the prepared gravy mixture over the chicken breasts in the crockpot, ensuring the chicken is fully covered by the liquid.
- Cook the Chicken: Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or on high heat for 4-5 hours, until the chicken breasts are tender and can be easily shredded with forks.
- Shred the Chicken: Using two forks, shred the chicken directly in the crockpot. Stir well to combine the shredded chicken with the gravy evenly.
- Serve: Spoon the shredded chicken and gravy over warm mashed potatoes or rice. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately for a comforting meal.
Notes
- For a thicker gravy, cook with the lid off for the last 30 minutes to reduce the liquid.
- You can substitute cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom soup for a different flavor variation.
- Adding vegetables like carrots or green beans to the crockpot can turn this into a more complete meal.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
