Main Ingredients
- 3 to 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 can (10.5 oz) unsalted cream of chicken soup
- 2 packets (0.87 oz each) chicken gravy mix
- 1/2 cup water or chicken broth (optional)
- Hot cooked rice, for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Season with salt and pepper to taste, if desired, ensuring the chicken is evenly seasoned.
- Prepare and Pour the Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, chicken gravy mix, and water or chicken broth (if using) until fully combined into a smooth sauce. Pour this mixture over the chicken breasts in the slow cooker, covering them evenly.
- 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 tenderizes the chicken and allows the flavors to meld deeply.
- Final Preparation: Once cooking is complete and the chicken is thoroughly cooked through, use a fork or spoon to break the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces directly in the slow cooker, mixing them with the gravy.
- Serve: Spoon the warm, bite-sized chicken pieces and gravy over hot steamed rice. Serve immediately for a hearty, comforting meal.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken broth for water to add extra flavor to the gravy.
- For a thicker gravy, you can cook uncovered for the last 30 minutes to reduce excess liquid.
- Ensure chicken breasts are fully cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
- This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
