This dish is perfect for busy days when you want a hearty meal with minimal effort. Serve it over mashed potatoes, rice, or biscuits for a satisfying dinner that feels like a warm hug.

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 packets (0.87 ounces each) chicken gravy mix
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 ¾ cups water
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ⅓ cup sour cream (optional, for extra creaminess)
  • Optional: Chopped fresh herbs for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Slow Cooker:
    Lightly grease the inside of your crockpot with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix the Gravy:
    In a bowl, whisk together the chicken gravy mix, condensed cream of chicken soup, water, black pepper, and garlic powder until smooth.
  3. Add the Chicken:
    Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker and pour the gravy mixture over them, ensuring they are fully coated.
  4. Slow Cook:
    Cover and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or HIGH for 4 hours until the chicken is tender and easily shreddable.
  5. Shred the Chicken:
    Using two forks, shred the chicken directly in the crockpot. Stir well to mix the shredded chicken with the gravy.
  6. Enhance the Flavor:
    If you prefer a creamier texture, stir in ⅓ cup sour cream before serving.
  7. Serve and Enjoy:
    Spoon the chicken and gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or biscuits. Garnish with chopped fresh herbs for a pop of color and flavor.

Tips for the Best Crockpot Chicken and Gravy:

  • Use chicken thighs instead of breasts for extra tenderness.
  • Add vegetables like mushrooms or carrots for more depth.
  • Thicken the gravy by mixing 2 tablespoons cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water and stirring it in during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
  • Experiment with seasonings like thyme or smoked paprika for a unique twist.
