Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 packet chicken gravy mix (halal-friendly)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional: fresh parsley, mashed potatoes, rice, or biscuits for serving
Instructions
- Place the chicken in the bottom of your crockpot.
- In a bowl, whisk together cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, gravy mix, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the gravy mixture evenly over the chicken.
- Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or on high for 2–3 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily pulls apart.
- Shred the chicken right in the crockpot and stir to combine with the gravy.
- Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or flaky biscuits.
Notes
- Boneless, skinless chicken works best; thighs stay juicier than breasts.
- For a thicker gravy, whisk 1–2 teaspoons cornstarch with water and stir in during the last 15 minutes of cooking, or make a slurry ahead of time.
- Leftovers refrigerate 3–4 days; reheat gently.
- To make gluten-free, use gluten-free cream of chicken soup and gluten-free gravy mix (if needed).
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
