Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 packet halal-friendly chicken gravy mix
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp black pepper
- Optional: ½ cup sour cream (stir in at the end for extra creaminess)
- Optional garnish: parsley
Instructions
- Place chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot.
- Add diced onion and garlic on top.
- In a bowl, whisk together cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, gravy mix, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper.
- Pour the gravy mixture over the chicken.
- Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until chicken is tender.
- Shred chicken directly into the gravy or leave whole if preferred.
- Stir in sour cream if you want a richer, creamier gravy.
- Serve warm over mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles.
Notes
- For a thicker gravy, reduce the broth slightly or thicken with a quick cornstarch slurry after cooking.
- Shredding the chicken into the gravy creates a blended, cohesive sauce, but you can keep the breasts whole if you prefer.
- To keep this dish gluten-free, use gluten-free cream of chicken soup and gluten-free gravy mix.
- Ensure all ingredients are halal-certified if strict halal adherence is needed.
- Leftovers refrigerate well for 3–4 days, and the dish can be frozen for longer storage.
- Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles for a comforting meal.
