By carvalhohm

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1/4 tsp. pepper
• 1 tsp. dried thyme
• 1 tsp. minced garlic
• 6 slices bacon, sliced and cooked
• 2 (0.87-oz.) packets chicken gravy dry mix
• 1 1/4 cup water <<<<< that's all, not the amount of water the gravy packets say
• 2/3 cup heavy cream (ADD AT THE END)

Preparation

Step 1

Add the chicken to the slow cooker. Sprinkle over the pepper, thyme, garlic and bacon.

In a small bowl mix together the gravy mix packet and the 1¼ cup water until smooth. Pour the gravy over the chicken.

Cover and cook on HIGH for 3.5 hours without opening the lid during the cooking time.

When the cooking time is done, add the heavy cream. Shred the chicken with 2 forks and give everything a gentle stir until the gravy and the cream are mixed.

Serve over rice or mashed potatoes.
