Gravy thickener if needed:

• 2 Tbsp. water

Instructions

1. Add the chicken breasts (no need to pre-cook or brown)
2. In a small bowl whisk together the sauce mix, cream of chicken soup, pepper and water.
3. Pour the gravy mix over the chicken in the slow cooker.
4. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4 hours.
5. Shred the chicken with two forks in the slow cooker.

Notes
Can I use a different cut of chicken?

Although the gravy will have to be thickened with cornstarch at ending, yes, use one of the cuts of chicken if desired.

1. Bone-in chicken breasts, thighs or drumsticks
2. Boneless skinless chicken thighs

If desired add one or more of those improvements into the gravy at the Start of cook time:

1. Herbs like dried thyme or oregano
2. Sliced mushrooms
3. Sliced onions
4. Cooked bacon crumbles

Try one or more of those sides:

1. Mashed Potatoes
2. White bread
3. berries like broccoli or corn
4. Stove-top stuffing
