Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 can (10.75 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 packet (0.87 oz) dry brown gravy mix
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
For Serving (Optional)
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Equipment

  • Crockpot / Slow Cooker
  • Whisk
  • Shredding Forks

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place chicken breasts in the bottom of a 6-quart or larger slow cooker.
Mix Gravy
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, dry gravy mix, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt until smooth.
Combine and Cook
  1. Pour the gravy mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the slow cooker, ensuring the chicken is mostly covered. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shredded.
Shred and Serve
  1. Once cooked, remove chicken and shred it using two forks; return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir to combine with the gravy. Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

For a creamier gravy, stir in a splash of heavy cream or milk during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
