Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 6 boneless skinless chicken thighs
Sauce
- 1 (10.5-oz) can unsalted cream of chicken soup
- 2 (0.87-oz) envelopes chicken gravy mix
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Prepare chicken: Arrange the boneless skinless chicken thighs evenly in the crockpot. Season with salt and pepper to your preference to enhance flavor.
- Make gravy mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the unsalted cream of chicken soup, chicken gravy mix envelopes, and chicken broth until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Combine and cook: Pour the gravy mixture evenly over the chicken thighs in the crockpot. Cover the crockpot lid securely.
- Slow cook: Set the crockpot to low heat and cook the chicken for 4 to 5 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the chicken to become tender.
- Shred and serve: Before serving, use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces right in the gravy. Serve hot alongside your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes or rice.
Notes
- You can season the chicken with additional herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra flavor.
- Use low-sodium broth and soup to control salt content if desired.
- Shredded chicken in gravy pairs well with mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
- For a thicker gravy, remove the lid for the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow liquid to reduce.
