Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
  • 2 cans (10.5 oz each) cream of chicken soup
  • 2 packets chicken gravy mix
  • 1.5 cups chicken broth (or water)
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (to garnish)

Method
 

  1. Place the chicken in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  2. In a bowl, whisk the cream of chicken soup, gravy mix, broth, and pepper until smooth, then pour it over the chicken.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and is fork-tender.
  4. Shred the chicken or leave the pieces whole, then stir the gravy until smooth and silky.
  5. Garnish with parsley and serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or biscuits.

Notes

Stovetop method: sear the chicken, then simmer it in the whisked gravy for 25-30 minutes. To thicken the gravy, stir in a cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water). Use low-sodium soup and gravy mix to control the salt. Leftovers reheat beautifully.
