Ingredients

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 (1 oz) chicken gravy packet
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 medium red bell pepper diced
1 medium yellow onion diced

Instructions

Place the chicken in the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker.
Add the chicken broth, gravy mix, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, paprika, Italian seasoning, chicken soup, Worcestershire sauce, bell pepper, and onion on top of the chicken.
Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 5-6 hours.
Shred the chicken with two forks and mix until the chicken is coated.
Serve over mashed potatoes or rice and enjoy!

Notes

Avoid overcooking the chicken and use a meat thermometer to monitor the meat towards the end of cooking. The safe internal temperature of cooked chicken is 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Thicken your gravy with a cornstarch slurry. Combine a tablespoon of cornstarch and a tablespoon of cold water, then stir it into the gravy until you reach your desired consistency.

Shred your cooked chicken in your stand mixer instead of using forks. Use the paddle attachment and mix at a low speed until it’s perfectly shredded.
