Preparation

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat and brown seasoned chicken on all sides.
Transfer chicken to slow cooker, then add water (or white wine) to skillet to deglaze the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until alcohol has cooked off, then remove from heat and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine chicken soup with deglazed pan juices, then season with Italian dressing mix and gravy mix.
Stir in garlic, onion and chili powders, then pour mixture over chicken in slow cooker.
Cover and cook on high for 2-3 hours, or until chicken is cooked through.
Transfer chicken to serving plates and top with gravy.
