Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken & Gravy
Ingredients:
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
1 (10.5 oz) can cream of mushroom soup (optional, or use two cans of cream of chicken for a milder flavor)
1 packet dry ranch seasoning mix
1 packet chicken gravy mix
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup sour cream (optional, for extra creaminess)
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts or thighs in the bottom of your slow cooker.
Step 2: Make the Gravy Mixture
In a bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup (if using), ranch seasoning mix, chicken gravy mix, chicken broth, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Whisk until smooth and pour the mixture over the chicken.
Step 3: Cook the Chicken
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6–8 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shredded.
Step 4: Add the Creaminess
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred or leave whole, as desired.
Stir the sour cream into the gravy for extra richness, then return the chicken to the slow cooker. Let it warm through for another 10–15 minutes.
Step 5: Serve
Serve the creamy chicken and gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, egg noodles, or with biscuits.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of freshness.
