6 Servings
Ingredients
- 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 10.5-ounce can cream of chicken soup
- 2 cups water
- 2 packets chicken gravy mix
- 1¼ teaspoons onion powder
- 1½ teaspoons garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 to 2 cups fresh or frozen vegetables optional
Instructions
Prepare the sauce
- In the bowl of a slow cooker, combine the cream of chicken soup, water, chicken gravy mix packets, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is well blended and smooth.
Add the chicken
- Place the chicken breasts into the slow cooker, ensuring each piece is fully coated in the sauce mixture. Gently stir or turn the chicken as needed to evenly distribute the seasoning.
Cook on low or high setting
- Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours, depending on your preferred timing. The chicken should become tender and easy to shred or cut with a fork.
Optional: Add vegetables
- If desired, stir in the fresh or frozen vegetables during the final hour of cooking. Ensure the vegetables are fully submerged in the sauce for even cooking.
Serve and enjoy
- Once the chicken is fully cooked and the gravy has thickened, serve warm. This dish pairs well with mashed potatoes, rice, pasta, or crusty bread.
Notes
To prepare this dish gluten-free, substitute the regular chicken gravy mix with a certified gluten-free gravy mix, and ensure the cream of chicken soup is labeled gluten-free as well. Many conventional cream soups contain wheat-based thickeners, so double-check labels or opt for a homemade gluten-free version if necessary. All other ingredients, including the spices and vegetables, are typically gluten-free, but it is advisable to confirm package labels when in doubt.
