For Slow Cooker Chicken & Gravy:
- Prepare Chicken Mixture:
- Place chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- In a mixing bowl, combine dry onion soup mix, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth. Stir until well combined.
- Pour the soup mixture over the chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook Chicken Mixture:
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 4-6 hours or high heat for 2-3 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- Shred Chicken:
- Once the chicken is cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker. Stir to combine the shredded chicken with the gravy mixture.
- Transfer to Air Fryer:
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes.
For Air Frying:
- Prepare Air Fryer Basket:
- Lightly grease the air fryer basket with olive oil or cooking spray.
- Transfer Chicken Mixture:
- Transfer the shredded chicken and gravy mixture from the slow cooker to the air fryer basket in an even layer.
- Air Fry Chicken:
- Air fry the chicken for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking, or until the chicken is golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Serve:
- Once the chicken is crispy and cooked to your liking, remove it from the air fryer basket and serve hot.
- Optional Garnish:
- Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions, if desired, before serving.
This method allows you to achieve the tenderness of slow-cooked chicken with the added crispiness from air frying. Adjust the cooking times and temperatures based on your specific air fryer model and preferences. Enjoy your delicious Slow Cooker Chicken & Gravy air fryer style!
