- Cover and set the crockpot to cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, allowing the chicken to become fork-tender.
- Once your cooking time is up, shred the chicken and stir it back into the delicious gravy until everything is beautifully combined.
Serving

- Consider adding a side of steamed vegetables for a touch of color and nutrition.
- A sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley enhances the flavor and adds a pop of green for presentation.
Notes
For a creamier gravy, add a splash of heavy cream just before serving. Leftovers can be stored for up to three days in an airtight container or frozen for up to three months. Reheat gently to maintain texture.
