INSTRUCTIONS:
- Place chicken breasts in the bottom of a medium-sized crock pot. Season with pepper and garlic powder.
- In a separate bowl, combine remaining ingredients then stir well. Pour mixture over chicken breasts.
- Cover crock pot then cook on high for 3-4 hours. Reduce temperature to warm then shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
- Serve chicken and gravy over mashed potatoes, rice or noodles.
NOTES: The gravy thickens more as it cools. I have found that I enjoy this the most when I remove the lid and let it cool for about 20 minutes before serving – trust me, it will still be plenty hot!
Base your cooking time on your crock pot. If you know your crock pot “cooks hot” then you will likely only need to cook the chicken for 3 hours. If yours is super slow to get going, you may have to cook it 4 hours (or more). I have three crock pots that I use the most. One is crazy hot and always overcooks recipes. One is super slow and can’t be used for recipes that cook on high (I use “high” for “low” and don’t even try to cook recipes that cook on the “high” setting). And one is juuussssst right. I’m like Goldilocks.
