Ingredients
- 3-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 2 envelopes of chicken gravy mix
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons dry minced onion
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Dry parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Combine soup, gravy, broth, and seasonings in a bowl. Stir to mix.
- Pour a thin layer of the gravy mixture into the slow cooker.
- Place the chicken in the cooker and pour some of the sauce over it. Add the remaining chicken and cover with the remaining sauce.
- Cook according to the instructed time, then serve.
Notes
- Thickness Adjustment: If the gravy is too thick after cooking, you can thin it by adding a little more chicken broth until desired consistency is reached.
- Avoid Overcooking: To ensure the chicken remains tender and juicy, avoid cooking it longer than the recommended time.
- Serving Suggestion: For an added touch, garnish with freshly chopped parsley or chives before serving to add color and fresh flavor.
- Creamy Twist: For an even creamier gravy, consider stirring in a splash of heavy cream or sour cream during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
- Shredding Shortcut: Use two forks or a hand mixer to shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker for convenience and to let the chicken soak up more gravy.
