Equipment
- 9x13-inch baking dish or slow cooker
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk
- Tongs or forks for shredding
- Aluminum foil (for oven method)
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cans (10.5 oz each) condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1 packet (1 oz) chicken gravy mix
- ¼ cup water or milk (optional, to thin sauce after cooking)
- salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) or prepare your slow cooker. In a medium bowl, whisk together condensed cream of chicken soup and chicken gravy mix until smooth and well combined.
- Place chicken breasts side-by-side in a 9x13-inch baking dish (for oven method) or into the basin of your slow cooker. Pour the soup and gravy mixture evenly over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are fully coated.
- For the Oven: Cover tightly with foil and bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and is fork-tender. For the Crockpot: Cover and cook on LOW for 7–8 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours until chicken easily shreds with a fork.
- Shred the cooked chicken directly in the gravy using two forks, mixing until evenly coated. Add a splash of milk or water if a thinner consistency is desired. Serve warm over mashed potatoes, rice, or biscuits.
