Description

This Easy Crock Pot Chicken and Gravy recipe is a comforting, simple dish perfect for busy weeknights. Tender boneless, skinless chicken breasts are slow-cooked in a flavorful blend of ranch seasoning, onion soup mix, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth to create a rich, creamy gravy. Ready with minimal prep, this hearty meal pairs perfectly with mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables for an effortless family dinner.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 packet (1 oz) onion soup mix
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth (or water)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Rinse and pat dry the chicken breasts. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired to enhance the flavor before cooking.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In the crock pot, mix together the ranch seasoning mix, onion soup mix, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and garlic powder until blended well to form the gravy base.
  3. Add Chicken: Place the chicken breasts into the crock pot, submerging them evenly in the gravy mixture to ensure they cook thoroughly and absorb flavors.
  4. Cook: Cover and cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours. The chicken should be tender and fully cooked, with the gravy thickened.
  5. Finish and Serve: Once cooked, taste the gravy and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with fresh parsley for a touch of color and freshness. Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite side dish.

Notes

  • Use low-sodium soup and broth to control salt content.
  • If the gravy is too thin after cooking, remove the chicken and thicken the sauce by mixing a tablespoon of cornstarch with cold water and stirring it into the crock pot. Cook on high for 15 minutes until thickened.
  • For added texture, sauté mushrooms and stir them into the gravy before cooking.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • This recipe is freezer-friendly; freeze cooked chicken and gravy separately for best quality.
