Chicken and Gravy in the Slow Cooker

Serves 6 in about 3 hours. The slow cooker brings mixed vegetables and flour thicken together.

Ingredients

• 2 ½-4 lbs boneless/skinless chicken breasts (or boneless/skinless thighs)
• 2 (.87 oz) packets chicken gravy mix (or brown gravy mix)
• 1 ¾ cups water
• 2 (10.5 oz) cans cream of chicken soup (or 1 chicken and 1 celery)
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• ¼ cup flour to thicken (or use instant mashed potatoes at the end)
• ¼-½ teaspoon black pepper
• Frozen mixed vegetables

Method

1. Stir in the chicken to the slow cooker.
2. In a bowl, mix together the remaining ingredients (including flour, if using).
3. Tip in the mixture over the chicken.
4. Set the lid on the slow cooker and cook on High for 3-4 hours, or on Low for 6-8 hours. Mix once halfway through.
5. Lift out the chicken to a plate and shred it. Then add it back into the crock. You might be able to shred it directly in the crock.
6. Plate over mashed potatoes, rice, noodles, or cauliflower rice.
