I actually like making this when we go tailgating too, it's a simple meal to fix it and leave it while the game is playing!

We typically serve this chicken and gravy on rice but it's also good on a nice crusty bread roll.

What makes this recipe so yummy

• There are only a handful of ingredients, typically stuff you'll find in your pantry day to day.
• It's inexpensive - with today's economy the way it is I'm always on the look out for a cost-effective meal.
• With this easy recipe, you can literally have this meal together in less than 5 minutes!
• A slow cooker chicken meal can't be beat for a family friendly meal.
• It's pure comfort food the whole family will enjoy in those winter months.
• If you have picky kids (like I do) then the lack of onions or other offensive tidbits will have the wolfing it down.
• It's a great recipe for leftover chicken too.

Groceries you'll need: Ingredients

• Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts (shreddable, but thighs are great too)
• Creole Seasoning
• Chicken Gravy Packets
• Chicken Broth
• Cream of Mushroom Soup
• Cream of Chicken Soup
• Fresh Parsley (optional Garnish)
• Salt and black pepper (optional - to taste)

Recipe walkthrough: Instructions

Following is a collage of images showing detailed steps on how to prepare this recipe:

• Step 1: Place chicken breasts to the bottom of the slow cooker and season with Creole Seasoning.
• Step 2: In a large mixing bowl add the two soups, chicken gravy and the chicken broth and mix together with a whisk.
• Step 3: Pour this mixture over the top of the chicken breasts, cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours.
• Step 4: Take 2 forks and shred the chicken.
• Step 5: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with a small sprinkle of chopped parsley (for color). Serve this creamy gravy over white rice or egg noodles.

Recipe variations and substitute ideas

• Chicken Thighs- I used breast but you could use chicken thighs or chicken tenders just as easily.
• Garlic Powder - Add a little garlic flavor.
• Onion Powder - Adds a little sweet onion flavor.
• Sour Cream - Some people add sour cream for richness.
• Ranch Seasoning - instead of one of the gravy packets.
• Poultry Seasoning - instead of the Creole seasoning.
• Turkey Breasts - instead of the juicy chicken breasts.
• Cauliflower Rice - serve with this instead of white rice.
• Brown Rice - serve with this instead of white rice.
• Cranberry Sauce - serve with a little of this on the side. It'll taste like Thanksgiving.
• Instant Pot - Speed things up, try this recipe in the instant pot.

Mel's kitchen notes

If you like your gravy a little bit thicker, for best results I recommend using instant mashed potatoes. This is a great way to thicken any gravy and it also imparts great flavor too. Add slowly and carefully, stirring.
