Chicken and Seasonings
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (can substitute with chicken thighs)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Gravy Sauce
- 10.5 ounce can condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 ounce packet chicken gravy mix
Instructions
- Season the Chicken: In a small bowl, combine ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon paprika, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper to make a spice mix. Rub this seasoning evenly on both sides of the two boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
- Place in Slow Cooker: Lay the seasoned chicken breasts in the bottom of a 4 to 6-quart slow cooker, ensuring they are spread evenly for consistent cooking.
- Prepare the Gravy Sauce: In a large bowl, whisk together the 10.5-ounce can of condensed cream of chicken soup, ½ cup water, and 1-ounce packet of chicken gravy mix until smooth and well combined.
- Cook the Chicken: Pour the prepared gravy sauce over the seasoned chicken breasts. Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
- Shred the Chicken: Once cooking is complete, remove the chicken breasts and shred them easily with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir thoroughly to coat all pieces in the flavorful gravy.
- Serve: Serve the chicken and gravy immediately over rice, egg noodles, or mashed potatoes for a comforting meal perfect for two.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken thighs if preferred for a juicier texture.
- For thicker gravy, cook uncovered for the last 30 minutes to reduce excess liquid.
- Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat gently on stovetop or microwave.
- Adding fresh herbs like parsley or thyme can enhance flavor and presentation.
