Crockpot Chicken and Gravy
Hearty Slow-Cooked Chicken and Gravy: A Comfort Food Classic
Ingredients:
- 3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 packets chicken gravy mix (0.87 oz each)
- 1 can cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz)
- 1 can chicken broth (14.5 oz)
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard (optional)
Directions:
- Prepare the crockpot: Spray the inside of your crockpot with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Season the chicken: Sprinkle the chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then place them in the bottom of the crockpot.
- Mix the gravy: In a small bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, gravy mix packets, chicken broth, and Dijon mustard (if using) until smooth.
- Cook: Pour the gravy mixture over the seasoned chicken. Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
- Shred the chicken: Once the chicken is done, remove it from the crockpot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot and stir to mix well with the gravy.
- Serve: Ladle the chicken and gravy over cooked rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes for a hearty and comforting meal.
