Description
This Slow Cooker Shredded Chicken and Gravy is the ultimate comfort meal made with just a handful of pantry staples. It’s creamy, savory, and perfect for serving over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles. The slow cooker does all the work, giving you fall-apart tender chicken in a rich, homemade-tasting gravy.
Ingredients
2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 packets chicken gravy mix (0.87 oz each)
1 can cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz)
1 3/4 cups water or low-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the gravy packets, cream of chicken soup, water (or broth), garlic powder, and black pepper until smooth.
2. Place the chicken in the slow cooker and pour the gravy mixture over the top to coat.
3. Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
4. Shred the chicken using two forks right in the slow cooker.
5. Stir the shredded chicken into the gravy and let it sit for 5–10 minutes to soak up flavor.
6. Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles. Garnish with parsley if desired.
Notes
You can use chicken thighs for extra flavor and juiciness.
