Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 3 to 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper, to taste (optional)
Sauce
- 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)
To Serve
- Hot cooked rice
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into the slow cooker. If desired, season each breast with salt and pepper to enhance flavor.
- Prepare and Pour the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the unsalted cream of chicken soup, chicken gravy mix packets, and water or chicken broth (if using) until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Pour this sauce evenly over the chicken in the slow cooker.
- Cook the Chicken: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set the heat to LOW. Allow the chicken to cook slowly for 4 to 6 hours. This slow cooking process makes the chicken tender and infuses it with the creamy gravy flavor.
- Final Preparation: Once fully cooked, use a fork or spoon to break the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces directly in the slow cooker. This helps in easy serving and ensures the sauce coats every piece well.
- Serve: Spoon the tender, saucy chicken over hot steamed rice. Enjoy this warm, hearty dish as a comforting meal any day of the week.
Notes
- You can substitute water with chicken broth for a richer flavor in the gravy.
- Adjust seasoning by adding more salt or pepper according to taste before cooking.
- For thicker gravy, cook uncovered for the last 30 minutes, or add a cornstarch slurry to thicken before serving.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
- This recipe pairs well with steamed vegetables or a simple green salad for a balanced meal.
