Ingredients

Scale

Chicken & Gravy Base:

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
1 can (10–11 oz) cream of chicken soup
2 packets dry chicken gravy mix
1½ cups chicken broth (low-sodium optional)
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
Salt & black pepper, to taste

Optional Upgrades:

½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (for extra creamy tang)
Fresh herbs (parsley or thyme) for garnish

Instructions

Prep the Crockpot: Lightly grease with cooking spray or butter.
Season the Chicken: Place chicken in the crockpot and sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Rub in gently.
Make the Gravy: In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, gravy mix, and chicken broth until smooth.
Combine: Pour the gravy over the chicken, lifting the pieces slightly to let sauce get underneath.
Cook:
- LOW: 6–8 hours (best for fall-apart tender chicken)
- HIGH: 3–4 hours (for quicker cooking)
Shred: Remove chicken and shred with forks (or a stand mixer on low for 10 seconds). Return to crockpot.
Finish (Optional): Stir in sour cream or Greek yogurt and let heat through for 10–15 minutes.
Taste & Garnish: Adjust seasoning and sprinkle fresh herbs on top.

Notes

Gravy Too Thin: Make a slurry with 2 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp cold water; stir in and cook uncovered on HIGH 20–30 min.
Frozen Chicken: Not recommended—thaw first for safety.
Chicken Dry: Use thighs or check cooking times earlier; crockpots vary.
Make Ahead: Store in fridge up to 3 days, reheat gently. Freezes up to 3 months.
