Ingredients
  

  • 2 lb Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 packets Chicken gravy mix
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) Cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup Chicken broth
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Onion powder
  • ½ tsp Black pepper
  • ½ tsp Paprika
  • ½ tsp Dried thyme
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp, chopped Fresh parsley

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, paprika, and thyme.
  • Make the gravy mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, gravy mix, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth.
  • Layer the crockpot: Place the seasoned chicken in the slow cooker. Add the butter and pour the gravy mixture evenly over the chicken.
  • Slow cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Finish the gravy: Carefully remove the chicken and whisk the gravy in the crockpot until smooth. If you prefer a thicker gravy, let it cook uncovered for a few additional minutes.
  • Slice and serve: Slice or shred the chicken and return it to the gravy. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
