Chicken & Gravy [Crock-pot]

We are now in the month of May and this weather is so up and down. We finally had a break in the heat, so I decided to make something cozy. I found a few ingredients I already had and decided to make up my own Chicken & Gravy. This was such a cozy dish and tasted just like Chicken Pot Pie, but a healthier version. You can serve this by itself, over rice, egg noodles, pasta, toast, whatever you like!


Ingredients
2 chicken breasts
1 can cream of chicken
1 1/2 C water
1/2 yellow onion, diced
1 packet chicken gravy powder
1 C frozen mixed vegetables
1 C uncooked egg noodles


In a crock-pot add the cream of chicken, 1 C water, onion and gravy powder. Mix to combine. 
**Add the chicken breasts, cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
At 6 hours, shred the chicken with a spoon or forks and add the mixed vegetables. Stir and cover.
15 minutes before it is done, add the uncooked egg noodles and **1/2 C water (if needed), stir, cover and let sit until ready to serve.


**If using frozen chicken, remember the once the water melts off them, there may be more liquid in the mixture than you might like. Before adding the egg noodles, if there is enough liquid already in the mixture, do not add the additional 1/2 C.
**If your egg noodles soak up all the liquid and it is too dry, you can always add a small amount of water to get it to the consistency you like.
