Ingredients:

• 1.5 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts (or thighs if you prefer)
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 can cream of chicken soup
• 1 packet chicken gravy mix (0.87 oz)
• 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

1. Add the chicken, broth, soup, gravy mix, and pepper into your crockpot.
2. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or high for 3 to 4 hours. The chicken should be tender and easy to shred.
3. Take the chicken out and shred it with two forks (or use a hand mixer if you’re in a hurry).
4. Put the shredded chicken back in the crockpot and stir everything together.
5. Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or with roasted veggies.

What to Serve with It:

• Mashed potatoes
• Garlic mashed potatoes
• Oven roasted carrots
• White rice, brown rice, or cauliflower rice

Helpful Tips:

• You can use frozen chicken. Just add a little extra cook time.
• Add veggies like chopped carrots or peas to cook right in the crockpot.
• Want thicker gravy? Stir in a mix of 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water in the last 30 minutes.

Variations:

• Try chicken thighs instead of breasts for a juicier result.
• Add herbs like garlic powder, thyme, or rosemary to change up the flavor.
• You can double the recipe to feed a crowd or save extra for the next day.

Storing Leftovers:

Put any leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge. They’ll stay good for 3 to 4 days. The flavor gets even better the next day.

Freezer-Friendly:

Let the chicken and gravy cool completely. Then freeze in a container or freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating

Reheating Tips:

Warm in the microwave or in a pot on the stove until heated through. If it looks too thick, stir in a splash of broth or water.
