Crockpot Chicken and Gravy

Here’s a simple and tasty recipe for Crockpot Chicken and Gravy:

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
• 1 packet of ranch seasoning mix (optional, for extra flavor)
• 1 packet of brown gravy mix
• 1 can (10.5 oz) of cream of chicken soup
• 1 cup of chicken broth (or water)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:

   • Place the chicken breasts or thighs in the bottom of your slow cooker.

2. Mix the Sauce:

   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the ranch seasoning mix (if using), gravy mix, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth until smooth.

3. Combine:

   • Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken in the crockpot. Ensure the chicken is covered with the sauce.

4. Season:

   • Add salt and pepper to taste. You can also add some garlic powder or onion powder if you like more flavor.

5. Cook:

   • Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shredded with a fork.

6. Shred the Chicken:

   • Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the crockpot and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the gravy in the crockpot and stir to combine.

7. Serve:

   • Serve the chicken and gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or even pasta for a delicious meal. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Tips:

• You can use bone-in chicken if preferred, but boneless is easier to shred.
• For added flavor, you can sauté the chicken breasts in a pan before adding them to the crockpot.
• If the gravy is too thick, add a bit more chicken broth to thin it out.
