Ingredients

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

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine chicken, water, bouillon, rosemary, sage, garlic salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a slow cooker.

Step 2

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).

Step 3

Shred chicken with 2 forks and leave in the slow cooker on Low.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Combine gravy and shredded chicken and serve.
