- 2 envelopes (0.87 oz each) chicken gravy mix
- 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup chicken broth
Garnish
- Minced fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Chicken: Place the chicken breasts into the bottom of a 5-quart or larger slow cooker in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
- Season: Sprinkle salt and pepper over the chicken breasts to taste for initial seasoning.
- Mix Gravy: In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken gravy mix, chicken broth, and cream of chicken soup until smooth to create the gravy base.
- Combine and Cook: Pour the gravy mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the slow cooker, then cover with the lid. Cook on high for 3 to 4 hours or on low for 6 to 8 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

Notes
- Cooking time varies depending on slow cooker model and size; check doneness accordingly.
- For thicker gravy, remove chicken after cooking and simmer gravy on stovetop to reduce.
- You can substitute cream of chicken soup with a homemade white sauce for a fresher option.
- Adding vegetables like mushrooms or peas can enhance the dish’s texture and nutrition.
- Leftovers store well refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat gently on stovetop or microwave.
