Ingredients needed

- Step 3: Place your chicken in the crockpot, and then pour the gravy mixture over the top of it.

Recipe Tips
- Use low sodium. If you are keeping an eye on your salt intake, you can use low sodium cream of chicken, low sodium gravy mix, and low sodium broth in this recipe.
- Make it hearty. If you don’t want to worry about making side dishes, you can make this recipe a one-pot hearty meal by adding frozen peas and carrots in the last 30 minutes.
- Add Kitchen Bouquet. Although it’s optional, I would suggest using the Kitchen Bouquet. It gives your gravy a darker color, adds another layer of flavor, and helps to thicken the gravy.
- Any boneless, skinless chicken will do. You can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs, chicken breasts, or chicken tenders. This makes it easier to shred if serving with rice or pasta.
