Description

This Crock Pot Chicken and Gravy recipe is a comforting and easy slow cooker dish featuring tender boneless, skinless chicken breasts cooked in a rich, creamy chicken gravy infused with savory herbs. Perfect for a hands-off meal, it cooks low and slow, resulting in flavorful, shredded chicken that pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes or rice.


Ingredients

Chicken and Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup diced yellow onions
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Gravy Ingredients

  • 10.5 oz can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 2 packets chicken gravy mix
  • ⅓ cup water
  • ½ teaspoon ground sage
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon parsley flakes


Instructions

  1. Prep Crock Pot: Spray the inside of the Crock Pot with cooking spray to prevent sticking and make clean-up easier.
  2. Layer Ingredients: Place the diced onions in an even layer at the bottom of the Crock Pot. Arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer over the onions to ensure even cooking.
  3. Make Gravy: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of chicken soup, chicken gravy mix packets, water, ground sage, black pepper, and parsley flakes until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Pour and Cook: Pour the prepared gravy mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the Crock Pot. Cover with the lid and cook on LOW heat setting for 5 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the chicken to become tender.
  5. Shred and Serve: After cooking, remove the lid and stir the chicken and gravy together, breaking the chicken breasts apart with a spoon to shred. Serve hot over mashed potatoes or rice for a comforting meal.

Notes

  • Use fresh herbs if available for enhanced flavor.
  • For thicker gravy, cook uncovered for the last 30 minutes.
  • Chicken thighs can be substituted for a juicier texture.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Can be doubled for larger groups using a bigger slow cooker.
