  • 2 packets chicken gravy mix

  • Mashed potatoes (store-bought mix or homemade)

  • Butter, for mashed potatoes

  • Salt & black pepper, to taste (optional)

👩‍🍳 Directions

Step 1: Cook the Chicken

Place chicken breasts in a large pot or slow cooker.

  • Stovetop: Cover with water, bring to a boil, then simmer for 20–25 minutes until cooked through.

  • Slow Cooker: Cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours.

Remove chicken and shred using two forks. Set aside.

Step 2: Make the Gravy

In the same pot (or a large skillet), combine:

  • Cream of chicken soup

  • Water

  • Chicken gravy packets

Whisk well and cook over medium heat until smooth and thickened.

Step 3: Combine

Add shredded chicken back into the gravy. Stir to coat evenly and simmer for 5–10 minutes until everything is hot and well blended. Taste and season if needed.

Step 4: Prepare Mashed Potatoes

Prepare mashed potatoes according to package directions or your favorite homemade recipe. Add butter and season to taste.
