Ingredients
Scale
- 2–3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 packet gravy mix
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: Fresh parsley for garnish
- Optional: 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, and gravy mix packet until smooth.
- Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the crockpot. Pour the gravy mixture over the chicken, ensuring it is fully covered.
- Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours. The chicken should be tender and easily shred with a fork.
- Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken from the crockpot and shred or slice it as desired.
- Stir the gravy in the crockpot to ensure it’s well combined. If it’s too thin, you can thicken it by whisking in a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water).
- Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot and stir gently to coat it in the gravy.
- Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or biscuits, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
