Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 3 to 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Gravy
- 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)
To Serve
- Hot cooked rice
Instructions
- Prepare the Crockpot: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts evenly at the bottom of your crockpot or slow cooker to ensure even cooking.
- Mix the Gravy: In a separate bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, chicken gravy mix packets, and water or chicken broth if using. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended and the gravy mix is fully dissolved.
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the gravy mixture over the chicken breasts in the crockpot, making sure the chicken is well covered with the sauce to infuse flavor and moisture during cooking.
- Slow Cook: Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on low heat for 4 hours (approximately 240 minutes), allowing the chicken to become tender and absorb the savory gravy flavors.
- Check and Serve: Once the cooking time is complete, check that the chicken is cooked through and tender. Serve the chicken and gravy hot over freshly cooked rice for a comforting meal.
Notes
- This dish is perfect for busy days since it requires little active preparation time and relies on slow cooking for flavor and tenderness.
- You can substitute chicken broth for water to enhance the gravy’s richness.
- For extra flavor, consider adding herbs like thyme or parsley before cooking.
- Check the chicken’s internal temperature to ensure it has reached 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
