How To Make easy dutch oven chicken and gravy

• Step 1
  Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F.
• Step 2
  In a bowl, dissolve the chicken base in 1/4 cup warm water.
• Step 3
  Combine the chicken base mixture with the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth (if using), salt, and pepper in the Dutch oven.
• Step 4
  Stir well to blend.
• Step 5
  Add the 2 chicken breasts to the mixture, ensuring they are mostly submerged.
• Step 6
  Cover the Dutch oven with a lid and place it in the oven for 1 - 1.5 hours, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
• Step 7
  About 10 minutes before finishing, stir in the corn starch slurry (corn starch mixed with cold water) to thicken the sauce. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens.
• Step 8
  Once done, remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve hot.
• Step 9
  Notes: Stir occasionally to prevent sticking, and adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Check seasoning and adjust with additional salt or pepper if needed, as chicken base can vary in flavor intensity. I like to shred the chicken then put it over a thick slice of buttered and toasted homemade bread, but it is great over biscuits, noodles, or rice.
