Sally's Creamy Chicken in slow cooker
I've made this twice in this size big batch. (Adjust down as needed by cutting in proportion, and it may not need 5 hours High to cook.) Original recipe:
https://www.thecountrycook.net...
5-6 pounds boneless chicken breast
4 ribs of celery, diced
4 carrots, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced, or use garlic powder to taste
Black pepper to taste
3 packages chicken gravy mix
2-3 cans cream of chicken soup
2-3 cans water
In slow cooker, layer the chicken breast, vegetables, and gravy mix, sprinkling chicken with black pepper (and garlic powder if using that). Mix soup and water, pour over top, cook on High till tender- 5 hours did it for me. Break up the chicken into portions and return to the sauce.
OR- cook chicken and vegetables on the stove with some water, then cut up the chicken a bit, transfer to the slow cooker with vegetables, gravy mix, soup, and enough cooking broth to make it saucy. Set on Low, allow an hour or two to cook before serving. (Hey, that makes this a nice do-ahead thing! Stove-top one day, then finish in slow cooker the next.)
Serve over rice or noodles. Maybe you could even use this as a pot pie filling- into a casserole dish with pie crust on top? It's probably pretty high in sodium, if concerned, maybe you could sprinkle flour instead of the gravy mix.
