Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 packet onion soup mix (or ranch dressing mix for variety)
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup (10.75 oz)
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup (10.75 oz)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons cold water
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Method
 

  1. Place chicken pieces in your slow cooker, arranging them in a single layer if possible. Season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together both cream soups, chicken broth, and onion soup mix until smooth. Pour this mixture over the chicken, making sure every piece gets coated.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken shreds easily with a fork and the liquid has developed a rich, golden color.
  4. Remove chicken and shred using two forks. Return shredded chicken to the crockpot. Mix cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl to create a slurry, then stir into the gravy.
  5. Cook on high for an additional 15-20 minutes until the gravy coats the back of a spoon. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Notes

Prep ingredients the night before for effortless morning prep. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat gently, adding broth if needed to restore consistency. Can use frozen chicken but add an extra hour cooking time. For dairy-free version, substitute coconut cream soups or cashew-based alternatives.
