Crockpot Chicken and Gravy

Crockpot Chicken and Gravy is a comforting, easy-to-make meal that’s perfect for busy days. The chicken cooks slowly in a rich gravy, becoming tender and flavorful. Here’s how to prepare it:

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 packets chicken gravy mix
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
• 2 cups water

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Gravy Mixture:
   • In a medium bowl, whisk together the chicken gravy mix, cream of chicken soup, and water until smooth and well combined.
2. Add Ingredients to the Crockpot:
   • Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your crockpot.
   • Pour the gravy mixture over the chicken, making sure each piece is well coated.
3. Cook the Chicken:
   • Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 4-6 hours. The chicken should be tender and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).
4. Shred or Serve Whole:
   • Once cooked, you can either shred the chicken directly in the crockpot using two forks or leave the breasts whole.
   • Stir the chicken into the gravy to combine.
5. Serve:
   • Serve the chicken and gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or with a side of vegetables for a complete meal.

Tips:

• For added flavor, you can season the chicken breasts with a bit of garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper before adding them to the crockpot.
• If you prefer a thicker gravy, you can mix in a slurry of cornstarch and water (1 tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon of water) during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

This Crockpot Chicken and Gravy is a hearty, satisfying dish that’s perfect for those cozy, comforting meals. Enjoy the ease of preparation and the delicious results!
