Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 1 (0.87 ounce) packet chicken gravy mix
- 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the chicken gravy mix, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth until smooth.
- Season the chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Place the chicken in the slow cooker and pour the gravy mixture over the top, ensuring the chicken is fully coated.
- Cover and cook on Low for 6 to 7 hours or on High for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is tender.
- Shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker and stir it back into the gravy.
- Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, noodles, or biscuits. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use chicken thighs instead of breasts.
- Use low-sodium broth and gravy mix to reduce salt content.
- Add mushrooms or vegetables during the last hour of cooking for variety.
- Stir in sour cream or cream cheese at the end for a creamier gravy.
