Ingredients
Chicken
3 to 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
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 in the slow cooker. Season with salt and pepper to taste, if desired, to enhance the flavors.
Mix the sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the unsalted cream of chicken soup, chicken gravy mix packets, and the optional 1/2 cup of water or chicken broth until smooth and well combined.
Combine and cook: Pour the soup and gravy mixture over the chicken breasts in the crockpot. Cover with the lid and cook on LOW heat for 4 to 6 hours, allowing the chicken to become tender and infused with the creamy gravy flavors.
Shred the chicken: Before serving, use two forks or tongs to break the cooked chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, mixing them gently with the gravy in the crockpot.
Serve: Spoon the shredded chicken and gravy over hot steamed rice, making sure to ladle plenty of sauce for a comforting, satisfying meal.
Notes
You can substitute water with chicken broth for a richer flavor.
Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste preferences but remember the gravy mix and soup may contain some sodium.
If you prefer a thicker gravy, remove the lid during the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow the sauce to reduce slightly.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
This recipe is freezer-friendly; freeze cooked chicken and gravy separately from rice for up to 2 months.
