Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts The star of the dish, ensuring tender chicken that absorbs the gravy's flavors.
For the Gravy
  • 1 packet chicken gravy mix A quick way to add rich flavor; opt for low-sodium versions if you're watching your salt intake.
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup Adds creaminess and depth; feel free to use homemade if you have it.
  • 1 cup chicken broth Enhances the overall savory taste; substitute with vegetable broth for a lighter touch.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder Brings a subtle kick; fresh minced garlic works too.
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder Adds sweetness and aromatic notes.
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper For a hint of warmth; adjust according to your taste.
  • 1 teaspoon paprika Adds a touch of color and smokiness; sweet or smoked varieties both work.
For the Garnish
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley A beautiful finishing touch; feel free to skip if you don't have it.

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Begin by placing the boneless, skinless chicken breasts directly at the bottom of your crockpot in a single layer for even cooking.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken gravy mix, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth along with garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and paprika. Stir until smooth.
  3. Carefully pour the prepared gravy mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring every piece is coated.
  4. Cover the crockpot and set it to cook on low for 4 to 5 hours, or on high for 2 to 3 hours.
  5. Once cooking time is complete, check that the internal temperature of the chicken has reached at least 165°F.
  6. Remove the cooked chicken from the crockpot and shred it into bite-sized pieces.
  7. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot and mix thoroughly with the gravy.
  8. Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or your preferred side, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
