Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 packets chicken gravy mix (about 1 oz each)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 ½ cups water or chicken broth
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp butter (optional, for extra richness)
  • Chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Prep the Crockpot:

Spray your crockpot insert with non-stick cooking spray or lightly coat with oil. This helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.

2. Season the Chicken:

Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker. Sprinkle both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

3. Make the Gravy Mixture:

In a medium bowl, whisk together the chicken gravy mix, cream of chicken soup, and water or broth until smooth.

4. Pour and Cover:

Pour the gravy mixture over the seasoned chicken breasts, making sure they’re well-coated in sauce.

5. Cook Until Tender:

Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or high for 4 hours, until the chicken is fall-apart tender and fully cooked.

6. Shred or Serve Whole:

Once done, you can either serve the chicken breasts whole or shred them directly into the gravy using two forks for a pulled-style texture.

7. Finish with Butter (Optional):

If you want extra richness, stir in a tablespoon of butter just before serving and let it melt into the sauce.

8. Serve and Enjoy:

Serve the chicken and gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles. Garnish with chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.


Tips & Variations

  • Make it creamier: Add a splash of heavy cream or sour cream at the end for an ultra-creamy finish.
  • Add veggies: Toss in sliced mushrooms or frozen peas during the last hour of cooking for a complete one-pot meal.
  • Use chicken thighs: For even juicier results, boneless, skinless thighs work beautifully here.

Recipe Summary

  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 6–8 hours (low) / 4 hours (high)
  • Total Time: 6–8 hours
