Time 4h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 cup water
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried sage
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
1 cup salted butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
9 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Combine chicken, water, bouillon, rosemary, sage, garlic salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a slow cooker.
  • Cook on Low until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 4 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Shred chicken with 2 forks and leave in the slow cooker on Low.
  • Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and stir until the mixture becomes paste-like and light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Gradually whisk chicken broth into the flour mixture, and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add salt and remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook until gravy thickens, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Combine gravy and shredded chicken and serve.
