Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts

- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened

- In a bowl, whisk together gravy mix, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
- Pour the mixture over the chicken in the crockpot.
- Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours until chicken is tender.

Notes
- Chicken thighs can be used instead of chicken breasts for extra tenderness.
- Add mushrooms, peas, or carrots for more texture and flavor.
