Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 3 to 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper, to taste (optional)
Sauce
- 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)
Serving
- Hot steamed rice, for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Place the boneless skinless chicken breasts into the slow cooker. Season with salt and pepper if desired to enhance flavor.
- Make the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the unsalted cream of chicken soup, chicken gravy mix packets, and water or chicken broth if using. This creates a creamy, flavorful gravy base.
- Cook: Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken in the slow cooker. Cover with the lid and cook on LOW for 4 to 6 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the chicken to become tender.
- Serve: Before serving, shred or break the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces directly in the crockpot to mix well with the gravy. Serve the chicken and gravy hot over steamed rice for a complete meal.
Notes
- Using water or chicken broth in the sauce is optional but adds moisture and flavor to the gravy.
- Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper according to taste.
- Cooking times may vary depending on slow cooker model; ensure chicken is fully cooked and tender before serving.
- For a thicker gravy, you can mix additional gravy packets or cornstarch slurry toward the end of cooking.
- This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables or a side salad for a balanced meal.
