INGREDIENT NOTES:

CHICKEN BREASTS:

  • Include these breasts for tender and juicy texture. They soak the creamy gravy taste when we cook slowly and shred easily. You may utilize turkey breast as another idea.

CHICKEN GRAVY MIX:

  • We utilize this gravy mix for delicious savory taste and smooth consistency. It mixes with soup to make the rich gravy for coating the shredded chicken. You may add homemade chicken gravy as a substitute.

DINNER ROLLS:

  • These dinner rolls are used to serve with the chicken and gravy potatoes. Dinner rolls have soft texture that soak the extra gravy perfectly. Swap these dinner rolls with sandwich bread if required.

FAT-FREE CREAM OF CHICKEN SOUP:

  • It gives creamy texture and rich savory taste to the gravy. This chicken soup keeps the chicken moist in the cooking process. Include reduced-fat cream of mushroom soup as a replacement.
