Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Gravy
- 3 to 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 can (10.5 oz) unsalted cream of chicken soup
- 2 packets (0.87 oz each) chicken gravy mix
- 1/2 cup water or chicken broth (optional)
Serving
- Hot cooked rice
Instructions
- Prepare the Crockpot: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into the bottom of the crockpot in a single layer.
- Mix the Gravy: In a medium bowl, combine the unsalted cream of chicken soup and the two packets of chicken gravy mix. If desired, add 1/2 cup of water or chicken broth to loosen the mixture slightly for easier pouring.
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the soup and gravy mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the crockpot, ensuring each piece is well coated.
- Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for about 4 hours (240 minutes) until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
- Prepare Rice: While the chicken is cooking, prepare hot cooked rice according to package instructions or your preferred method.
- Serve: Once the chicken is fully cooked and the gravy is hot and bubbly, serve the chicken breasts smothered with gravy over the hot cooked rice for a comforting meal.
Notes
- You can use chicken broth instead of water to enhance the flavor of the gravy.
- If you prefer thicker gravy, remove the lid in the last 30 minutes to let some liquid evaporate.
- For added vegetables, consider adding sliced mushrooms or onions at the start of cooking.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stove or microwave.
