Add the chicken breasts (no need to pre-cook or brown)
In a small bowl whisk together the gravy mix, cream of chicken soup, water and pepper.
Pour the gravy mix over the chicken in the slow cooker.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4 hours.
Shred the chicken with two forks in the slow cooker.
