Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 packet dry onion soup mix
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon fresh or dried parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and season lightly with pepper and garlic powder.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, and dry onion soup mix until smooth.
  3. Place the chicken in the crockpot, then pour the gravy mixture over the top, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated.
  4. Place small chunks of butter on top of the chicken for added richness.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
  6. Garnish with parsley and serve the chicken with gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.

Notes

[‘Use fresh chicken to avoid excess water diluting the gravy.’, ‘For a thicker gravy, whisk in a cornstarch slurry during the last 10 minutes of cooking.’, ‘Taste the gravy before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed.’]
