Crockpot Chicken and Gravy

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)

• 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup

• 1 (0.87 oz) packet chicken gravy mix (like McCormick)

• 1 (1 oz) packet ranch seasoning mix (optional but adds great flavor)

• 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth

• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

• Optional: 4 oz cream cheese or 1/2 cup sour cream (for a creamier gravy)

Instructions:

1. Prep the Crockpot:

   • Lightly spray the inside with non-stick cooking spray or use a liner for easy cleanup.

2. Mix the Gravy:

   • In a medium bowl, whisk together the chicken soup, gravy mix, ranch seasoning (if using), chicken broth, garlic powder, and pepper.

3. Add Chicken:

   • Place the chicken breasts or thighs in the crockpot. Pour the gravy mixture over the top to cover.

4. Cook:

   • Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shreds.

5. Shred and Stir:

   • Remove chicken, shred with two forks, then return to the crockpot. Stir to coat in the gravy.

   • Optional: Add cream cheese or sour cream at this stage for extra creaminess. Stir until melted and combined.

6. Serve:

   • Spoon over mashed potatoes, rice, egg noodles, or even biscuits.

Tips:

• If the gravy is too thick, stir in a little more chicken broth or milk.

• Add steamed peas or cooked mushrooms for extra flavor and texture.
