Crockpot Chicken and Gravy: A Comforting, Easy Dinner

Prepare the chicken: Place the chicken breasts (or thighs) into the bottom of the Crockpot. If using chicken breasts, you can leave them whole, but thighs are often more tender and forgiving.
Mix the gravy ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the ranch dressing mix, gravy mix, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth until smooth and well combined. Add garlic powder, salt, and pepper, adjusting to your taste.
Pour over the chicken: Pour the gravy mixture over the chicken in the Crockpot, making sure the chicken is well covered with the sauce.
Slow cook: Cover the Crockpot and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The chicken will become tender and easily shred with a fork.
Shred the chicken: Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the Crockpot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the gravy and stir to combine.
Serve: Serve the chicken and gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta. Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme for a pop of color and extra flavor.
