Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts – lean and tender protein base
- 2 packets chicken gravy mix – provides savory, seasoned depth
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup – adds creaminess and texture
- 1 cup water – helps blend and thin the gravy
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder – brings warmth and aroma
- 1 teaspoon onion powder – adds subtle sweetness
- Salt and pepper – enhances overall flavor
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley – optional garnish for freshness
Instructions
- Lightly grease your slow cooker or spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the gravy mix, cream of chicken soup, water, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Place chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker and pour the gravy mixture evenly over them.
- Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
- Shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker using two forks and mix it into the gravy.
- Serve the chicken and gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles. Garnish with parsley if desired.
Notes
- Use thawed chicken for best results and food safety.
- To thicken the gravy, mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water and stir in before serving.

- Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or can be frozen for later use.
