Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 10.5 oz cream of chicken soup (e.g., Campbell’s brand)
- 2 packets chicken gravy mix
- 1/2 cup water
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For Serving
- Cooked rice (steamed, quantity as desired)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the crockpot or slow cooker. Season with salt and pepper to taste for added flavor.
- Prepare and Pour the Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, chicken gravy packets, and 1/2 cup water 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 the lid and set it to cook on LOW heat for 4 to 6 hours. This slow cooking process will make the chicken tender and flavorful as it absorbs the gravy flavors.
- Final Preparation: Once cooking is complete and the chicken is fully cooked, use a fork or spoon to break the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces right in the slow cooker. This helps to evenly distribute the gravy and makes serving easier.
- Serve: Spoon the tender chicken and creamy gravy over hot steamed rice and enjoy this comforting and hearty meal.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts if you prefer darker meat with more flavor.
- If you want a thicker gravy, remove the chicken at the end and simmer the sauce on high in the slow cooker for 15-20 minutes without the lid to reduce the liquid.
- To make this dish gluten-free, ensure the gravy mix and cream of chicken soup are certified gluten-free brands.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
