Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Gravy
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 packets (0.87 oz each) chicken gravy mix
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Optional
- 1/2 cup sour cream (for added creaminess)
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Gravy Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the chicken gravy mix, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
- Arrange Chicken in Crock Pot: Lightly grease the bottom of the crock pot and place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts evenly inside.
- Pour Gravy Over Chicken: Pour the prepared gravy mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully covered.
- Cook the Chicken: Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
- Shred the Chicken: Using two forks, shred the chicken directly inside the crock pot and stir it into the gravy to combine the flavors thoroughly.
- Add Optional Sour Cream: If desired, stir in the sour cream just before serving for extra creaminess and richness.
- Serve and Garnish: Serve the chicken and gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles and garnish with chopped parsley if you like for a fresh finish.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken thighs for a more tender and flavorful result.
- For extra texture and taste, add sautéed mushrooms or onions to the crock pot before cooking.
