Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 2-3 pounds Boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 2 packets chicken gravy mix or 1 packet plus 1 packet chicken seasoning if you like it lighter
  • 2 cans cream of chicken soup
  • 1.5-2 cups chicken broth or water Start with smaller amount for thicker gravy
  • Garlic powder Optional but recommended
  • Onion powder Optional but recommended
  • Black pepper Optional but recommended
  • Cooked rice For serving

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Spray your crockpot with a little nonstick spray or use a liner for easy cleanup.
  2. Add the chicken in a single layer. Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper on top for added flavor.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the gravy packets, cream of chicken soup, and broth until smooth. Pour it over the chicken.
  4. Cook on LOW for 5 to 6 hours or HIGH for 3 to 4 hours, with low being preferable for more tender chicken.
  5. Shred the chicken right in the crockpot with two forks, then stir everything together. Let it sit for 10 minutes with the lid on to thicken the gravy.
  6. Spoon the chicken and gravy over the rice generously.

Notes

This recipe is forgiving but follow the tips for best results. Store leftovers separately to prevent mushy rice. For best flavor, consider tweaking ingredients based on personal preference.
