Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Gravy Mixture
- 2 packets (1 ounce each) chicken gravy mix
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
Optional Garnish
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Place Chicken: Begin by arranging the boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of your crockpot, ensuring they lay flat for even cooking.
- Mix Gravy Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken gravy mix, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and paprika. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly blended into a smooth gravy mixture.
- Pour Gravy Over Chicken: Pour the prepared gravy mixture over the chicken breasts in the crockpot, making sure the chicken is fully coated with the mixture for maximum flavor infusion.
- Cook: Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours. This slow cooking process will make the chicken tender and fully cooked.
- Adjust Seasoning: After cooking, check the seasoning of the gravy and adjust with additional salt and pepper if needed to suit your taste preferences.
- Shred or Leave Whole: Remove the chicken breasts from the crockpot and shred them using two forks for a pulled chicken texture, or leave whole if preferred for serving.
- Combine Chicken and Gravy: Stir the shredded (or whole) chicken back into the gravy in the crockpot, mixing well so the chicken is evenly coated with the rich gravy.
- Serve: Serve the chicken and gravy hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired. This dish pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
