Instructions:
- Prepare the Chicken:
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme.
- Mix the Sauce:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry onion soup mix, condensed cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth until smooth.
- Assemble in the Slow Cooker:
- Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken, ensuring that the chicken is completely covered with the sauce.
- Cook:
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- Thicken the Gravy (Optional):
- If desired, you can thicken the gravy. In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and water until smooth to create a slurry.
- Stir the slurry into the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking. This will help thicken the gravy.
- Serve:
- Once the chicken is cooked and the gravy is thickened (if using), remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and transfer them to a serving platter.
- Spoon the gravy over the chicken breasts and garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired.
Tips:
- For added flavor, you can brown the chicken breasts in a skillet before placing them in the slow cooker.
- Customize the seasoning by adding your favorite herbs and spices to the gravy mixture.
