1/2 cup water or chicken broth (optional)
Hot steamed rice, for serving

There’s no need to dilute the soup with water; simply use it straight from the can.
You can substitute chicken thighs or tenderloins for the chicken breasts.
Frozen chicken breasts work well, but they may need a bit more time to cook (closer to 6 hours).

1. Can I use frozen chicken?

Yep, frozen chicken works perfectly! Just toss it straight into the slow cooker. If you’re using frozen chicken breasts, you may need to cook them a bit longer, closer to the 6-hour mark.

2. What if I don’t have chicken broth?

No worries! You can skip the broth altogether or just use water. The soup and gravy mix provide plenty of flavor, so you won’t miss the broth.

3. Can I add vegetables to this dish?

Yes! Adding vegetables like frozen peas, carrots, or green beans is a great way to make this a complete meal. Just toss them in halfway through the cooking time for best results.

4. What’s the best way to store leftovers?

Leftovers are a breeze! Simply let the chicken and gravy cool and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. It also freezes well if you want to enjoy it later.

5. Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts?

Absolutely! Chicken thighs work wonderfully in this recipe. They’re a bit juicier than breasts, which adds even more flavor to the dish.
