  • 4 large boneless skinless chicken breasts (2–3 pounds)

  • 2 packets chicken gravy mix
  • Mashed potatoes (homemade or store-bought, for serving)

Instructions

  • Place chicken breasts in the bottom of a slow cooker, spreading evenly.
  • In a bowl, whisk condensed soup and gravy mix until smooth.
  • Pour soup mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker.
  • Cover and cook on Low for 6–8 hours or High for 4–5 hours until chicken is tender.
  • Shred chicken using two forks in the slow cooker.
  • Stir shredded chicken into the gravy mixture until fully combined.

Notes

For juicier results, use boneless chicken thighs instead of breasts.
Adjust soup quantity if gravy is too thick or thin after cooking.
Mashed potatoes can be prepared fresh or used from a refrigerated mix for extra convenience.
