Prepare the Slow Cooker:

Pour the gravy mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring each piece is coated.
Cover the crock pot, cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until chicken is tender and cooked through.

Notes
- Add Veggies: You can add sliced mushrooms, diced carrots, or peas directly into the crock pot for extra nutrition.
- Thicker Gravy: For a thicker gravy, mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water and stir into the sauce during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
- Seasoning Customization: Feel free to adjust seasonings, herbs, or add garlic powder and onion powder for additional depth of flavor.
- Storage: Leftovers keep beautifully in the fridge for 3-4 days in an airtight container. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop.
