Ingredients
2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 packets chicken gravy mix
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
2 cups chicken broth or water
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the gravy mix packets, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth (or water) until smooth.
2. Place the chicken breasts into the bottom of your slow cooker.
3. Pour the gravy mixture over the chicken, ensuring it’s fully covered.
4. Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
5. Shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker using two forks or shredding claws.
6. Stir the shredded chicken into the gravy until well combined.
7. Serve hot over mashed potatoes, biscuits, or rice. Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions if desired.
Notes
Use chicken thighs instead of breasts for an even richer, more tender texture.
Add a cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp cold water) at the end if you prefer a thicker gravy.
For extra flavor, stir in a splash of heavy cream or a knob of butter just before serving.
