Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 4 chicken breasts
Sauce
- 1 can cream of chicken soup (about 10.5 oz)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 packet onion soup mix (about 1 oz)
Seasoning
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place Chicken in Crockpot: Arrange the 4 chicken breasts evenly at the bottom of the crockpot to ensure even cooking.
- Prepare Gravy Mixture: In a separate bowl, thoroughly combine the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and onion soup mix until smooth and well blended.
- Pour Mixture Over Chicken: Evenly pour the prepared soup mixture over the chicken breasts in the crockpot, ensuring they are well coated.
- Season: Add salt and pepper to taste, based on your preference for seasoning the dish.
- Cook Slowly: Cover the crockpot and set it to cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours, allowing the chicken to become tender and infused with the flavors.
- Shred Chicken Before Serving: Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts and shred them with two forks, then return the shredded chicken to the gravy in the crockpot or serve atop the gravy.
Notes
- You can use chicken thighs instead of breasts for a juicier texture.
- Adjust salt and pepper according to taste, especially if the onion soup mix is already salty.
- For thicker gravy, remove the lid in the last 30 minutes to let excess liquid evaporate.
- Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles for a complete meal.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
