Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 34 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 10.5 oz cream of chicken soup (Campbell’s brand recommended)
  • 2 packets chicken gravy mix
  • 1/2 cup water
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Cooked rice, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
  2. Prepare and Pour the Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, chicken gravy mix packets, and water until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Pour this sauce evenly over the chicken breasts in the slow cooker.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on LOW heat for 4 to 6 hours. This slow cooking process will tenderize the chicken and allow it to absorb the rich gravy flavor.
  4. Final Preparation: Once the chicken is fully cooked and tender, use a fork or spoon to break the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces directly in the slow cooker. This makes it easier to serve and enjoy.
  5. Serve: Ladle the gravy-coated chicken pieces over hot steamed rice on individual plates or bowls. Serve immediately for a delicious, hearty meal.

Notes

  • Use cooked rice as the base to soak up the flavorful gravy.
  • Season the chicken with additional herbs or spices if desired, such as garlic powder or paprika.
  • If preferred, you can substitute water with low-sodium chicken broth for a richer sauce.
  • Cooking times may vary depending on your slow cooker; ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
