Ingredients
Chicken
- 6 boneless skinless chicken thighs
Gravy
- 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 the Chicken: Arrange the boneless skinless chicken thighs evenly in the crockpot. Season them with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences for added flavor.
- Make the Gravy Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, chicken gravy mix envelopes, and chicken broth. Whisk the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and fully combined, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Combine and Cook: Pour the prepared gravy mixture evenly over the chicken thighs in the crockpot. Cover the crockpot with the lid securely and set it to cook on low heat. Allow it to cook gently for about 4 to 5 hours, which will make the chicken tender and infuse it with the savory gravy flavor.
- Shred the Chicken: Once cooking is complete, use two forks to shred the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces directly inside the crockpot. Mixing the chicken with the gravy will coat the pieces nicely and make the dish ready to serve.
- Serving: Serve the hot shredded chicken and gravy with your preferred sides such as mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal.
Notes
- Seasoning: Feel free to add any additional spices or herbs such as garlic powder, thyme, or paprika to customize the flavor to your liking.
- Thickness: If you prefer a thicker gravy, prepare a cornstarch slurry (mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water) and stir it into the crockpot during the last 15 minutes of cooking. This will help thicken the gravy to your desired consistency.
