Chicken
- 3 to 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper, to taste (optional)
Sauce
- 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)
To Serve
- Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Season with salt and pepper to taste if desired.
- Prepare and Pour the Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of chicken soup, chicken gravy mix, and water or chicken broth (if using) until smooth and well combined. Pour the mixture evenly over the chicken in the slow cooker.
- Cook the Chicken: Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on LOW heat for 4 to 6 hours. The slow cooking process will make the chicken tender and full of flavor.
- Final Preparation: Once the chicken is cooked through, break the breasts into bite-sized pieces using a fork or spoon to make serving easier.
- Serve: Spoon the chicken and gravy mixture over hot steamed rice and serve immediately for a warm, comforting meal.
