- 1 to 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 small onion, chopped (optional)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
- 1 tbsp butter (optional)

Instructions
- Pat the chicken dry and place it in a single layer in the slow cooker. If using onion, scatter the chopped pieces under and around the chicken.
- In a bowl, whisk the gravy mix with 1 to 1 1/2 cups water until smooth. Adjust water based on the desired thickness.
- Pour the gravy over the chicken, dot with butter if desired, and cover the slow cooker.
- Cook on low for 6–8 hours or on high for 3–4 hours until the chicken is fork-tender and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

- Serve hot over rice, mashed potatoes, or biscuits.
