Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 packet of crockpot chicken cream of chicken
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 packet of dry onion soup mix or homemade seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (for thickening)
  • Optional: fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary for added aroma

Instructions

  1. Begin by lightly seasoning the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Place them into the crockpot and pour over the chicken broth. Sprinkle the onion soup mix over the chicken to infuse flavor. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is tender and easily shreddable.
  2. Once the chicken is cooked, remove the breasts and shred them using two forks. Stir the cornstarch-water mixture into the crockpot liquids to thicken the gravy. Turn the slow cooker to high and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes until the gravy reaches your preferred consistency.
  3. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot and stir to coat with the gravy. Serve this over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired for an extra flavorful touch.

Notes

  • Use bone-in chicken for even richer flavors, though boneless breasts are quicker to cook.
  • Adjust the gravy thickness by varying the cornstarch amount—add more for thicker gravy or less for a thinner sauce.
  • Experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the flavor profile.
  • For a healthier version, utilize low-sodium chicken broth and reduce the salt content.
