Advertisements

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 packet (1 oz) chicken gravy mix
  • 1 teaspoon chicken seasoning (such as poultry seasoning or a blend of thyme, sage, rosemary, and garlic powder)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crockpot Mixture: In a large crockpot, pour the chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, chicken seasoning, and chicken gravy mix. Stir well to combine all the ingredients, creating a smooth base for your chicken.
  2. Add the Chicken: Place the whole chicken breasts into the crockpot, ensuring they are well-coated with the gravy mixture.
  3. Slow Cook the Chicken: Set your crockpot to low and let the chicken cook for 5-6 hours. Alternatively, you can cook on high for 3-4 hours. The chicken should be tender and easily shred with a fork.
  4. Shred the Chicken: Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the crockpot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot and stir to coat it thoroughly in the gravy.
  5. Serve: Serve your delicious chicken and gravy over a bed of fluffy rice or creamy mashed potatoes. Enjoy the comforting flavors and tender chicken in every bite!

Tips for the Best Chicken and Gravy

  • Thickening the Gravy: If you prefer a thicker gravy, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water and add it to the crockpot during the last hour of cooking.
  • Extra Flavor: Add sliced mushrooms, diced onions, or a splash of white wine for an extra depth of flavor.
  • Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave.
