Ingredients
- 10.75 ounces cream of chicken soup
- 2 (0.87-ounce) envelopes chicken gravy mix, or 2 tablespoons powdered chicken gravy mix
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 to 1 ½ cups water (use 1 cup for thicker gravy, 1 ½ cups for thinner gravy)
- ½ tablespoon Better Than Bouillon Chicken Flavor, or 2 chicken bouillon cubes smashed
- 4 large chicken breasts, cut in half horizontally
- Green onions, sliced for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce:
- In a 4-quart crockpot, combine cream of chicken soup, chicken gravy mix, pepper, garlic powder, water, and Better Than Bouillon Chicken Flavor (or smashed bouillon cubes). Whisk together to combine.
- Cook the Chicken:
- Add the 4 chicken breasts, cut in half horizontally, to the crockpot, making sure they are covered with the gravy mixture.
- Cover with the lid and set the crockpot to low. Cook for 4 hours, or until the chicken easily shreds with two forks.
- Shred and Serve:
- Once the chicken is fully cooked, shred it using two forks, then stir the shredded chicken into the gravy mixture with a large spoon.
- Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
Notes
- For a richer gravy, add 1 ½ cups of water. For a thicker gravy, use just 1 cup of water.
- Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or bread for a complete meal.
- This recipe can also be made with bone-in chicken breasts or thighs if preferred.
