Shredded Chicken Gravy on Mashed Potatoes

  • Author: Avery
  • Total Time: About 8 hours
  • Yield: Serves 6

Description

This cozy, comforting meal is perfect for busy weeknights or slow weekends. Tender shredded chicken simmered in a rich, savory gravy is piled high over buttery mashed potatoes for a dish that’s as satisfying as it is simple. Let your crockpot do the work while you dream about that first delicious bite. Bonus: it’s even better with a warm roll on the side.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 packs chicken breast
  • 2 cans cream of chicken soup
  • 2 cans water (use one of the cream of chicken cans to measure)
  • 2 packets chicken gravy mix
  • Mashed potatoes (store-bought mix or homemade)
  • Butter (for the mashed potatoes)
  • Garlic powder, salt, and pepper (to season chicken)

Instructions

  1. In a crockpot, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, water, and gravy mix packets until smooth.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then place them into the crockpot mixture.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked and easy to shred.
  4. Once done, remove the chicken and shred it using two forks.
  5. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot and stir to combine everything into a rich, savory gravy.
  6. Prepare mashed potatoes following package instructions or your favorite homemade method. Stir in butter to taste.
  7. Serve a generous scoop of shredded chicken gravy over a mound of mashed potatoes.
  8. Optional but highly recommended: serve with warm dinner rolls for the full comfort food experience.

Notes

  • This dish reheats beautifully — perfect for leftovers or meal prep.
  • You can use rotisserie chicken to speed things up. Just reduce the cook time since it’s already cooked.
  • Feel free to add a pinch of poultry seasoning or onion powder to deepen the flavor.
  • For a little extra richness, stir in a splash of heavy cream before serving.
