Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 to 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 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)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Hot cooked rice, for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker and season them with salt and pepper to taste, if desired. This creates the flavorful base for the dish.
- Prepare and Pour the Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsalted cream of chicken soup, chicken gravy mix packets, and water or chicken broth (if using) until smooth. Pour this mixture evenly over the seasoned chicken in the slow cooker.
- Cook the Chicken: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on LOW heat for 4 to 6 hours. Slow cooking ensures the chicken becomes tender and infused with the creamy gravy flavor.
- Final Preparation: Once cooked through, use a fork or spoon to break the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces right in the slow cooker. This makes serving and eating easier.
- Serve: Scoop the bite-sized chicken and gravy over hot steamed rice to serve. This comforting dish is now ready to enjoy!
Notes
- You can substitute water with chicken broth for richer flavor.
- Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed after cooking.
- For a thicker gravy, remove the lid during the last 30 minutes of cooking to let some liquid evaporate.
- This recipe is perfect for meal prep and can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
- Serve with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
