Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 to 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 can 10.5-oz Unsalted Cream of Chicken Soup
  • 2 envelopes 0.87-oz chicken gravy mix
  • 1/2 cup water or chicken broth (optional) Use low-sodium broth to control salt.
  • Hot steamed rice, for serving For a hearty meal.
  • Salt and pepper to taste Season lightly.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Whisk the can of cream of chicken, the two gravy envelopes, and 1/2 cup water or broth until smooth.
  3. Pour the mixture evenly over the chicken so each piece gets covered.
  4. Cover the crockpot and cook on LOW for 4–6 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours.
  5. Steam rice until hot and fluffy while the chicken cooks.
  6. Before serving, use two forks to break the breasts into bite-sized pieces, allowing the gravy to cling and thicken around the meat.
  7. Serve spooned generously over hot steamed rice.

Notes

Use frozen chicken straight from the bag and add an extra hour on LOW for time saving. If gravy ends up thin, whisk a tablespoon of cornstarch with cold water and stir in, cooking for an additional 10–15 minutes. For variation, stir in a teaspoon of Dijon or a pinch of thyme.
