Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 3 to 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Gravy
- 1 can (10.5 oz) unsalted cream of chicken soup
- 2 packets (0.87 oz each) chicken gravy mix
- 1/2 cup water or chicken broth (optional)
Serving
- Hot cooked rice
Instructions
- Prepare the crockpot: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot in an even layer.
- Mix the gravy ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the unsalted cream of chicken soup and the two packets of chicken gravy mix. If desired, add 1/2 cup of water or chicken broth to loosen the mixture slightly for a smoother gravy.
- Pour the gravy mixture over the chicken: Evenly spread the soup and gravy mix over the chicken breasts in the crockpot, ensuring the chicken is well coated.
- Cook the chicken: Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on low heat for 4 hours (240 minutes) until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
- Serve: Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts and shred or serve whole with the creamy gravy poured over them. Serve hot over cooked rice for a complete meal.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of black pepper or garlic powder to the gravy mixture before cooking.
- If you prefer thicker gravy, you can cook uncovered for the last 30 minutes to reduce excess liquid.
- The optional water or chicken broth helps if the gravy seems too thick before cooking, but can be omitted if you prefer a thicker consistency.
- This recipe can easily be doubled to feed more people; just increase the crockpot cooking time slightly if needed.
