Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth low sodium
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter optional
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons cold water

Equipment

  • Crockpot (Slow Cooker)
  • Cooking spray
  • fork
  • small bowl
  • whisk

Method
 

  1. Lightly grease your crockpot with cooking spray.
  2. Place the chicken breasts (or thighs) in the bottom of the crockpot in a single layer.
  3. Sprinkle the dry onion soup mix evenly over the chicken.
  4. Pour the condensed cream of chicken soup over the onion soup mix.
  5. Add the chicken broth, garlic powder, and black pepper. Add butter if desired.
  6. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. The chicken is done when it's easily shredded with a fork.
  7. Remove the chicken from the crockpot and shred it with two forks.
  8. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot and stir it into the gravy.
  9. If a thicker gravy is desired, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl until smooth.
  10. Pour the cornstarch slurry into the crockpot and stir well.
  11. Cover and cook on high for 15-20 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency.
  12. Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, noodles, or biscuits.

Notes

For extra flavor, use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts. If the gravy is too thick, add a little more chicken broth. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days or frozen for up to 2-3 months. Add vegetables like carrots, celery, and onions for a heartier meal. For a creamy gravy, stir in a dollop of sour cream or cream cheese at the end.
