Description

This Crockpot Chicken and Gravy recipe offers a comforting, easy-to-make meal featuring tender chicken breasts slow-cooked in a creamy, flavorful gravy. Perfect for busy days, the dish requires minimal prep and results in a hearty dinner that pairs beautifully with rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 3-4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (or boneless skinless chicken thighs)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Gravy mixture

  • 2 packets (0.87 ounces each) chicken gravy mix
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crockpot: Spray the crockpot insert with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Season the chicken: Rub the chicken breasts evenly with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, then place them directly into the crockpot.
  3. Make the gravy mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, chicken gravy mix packets, chicken broth, and Dijon mustard (if using) until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Pour this over the chicken in the crockpot.
  4. Slow cook the chicken: Seal the crockpot and cook on the low setting for 6 to 8 hours, allowing the chicken to become tender and infused with the gravy flavors.
  5. Shred the chicken: Remove the cooked chicken breasts from the crockpot and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot and stir it well with the gravy to incorporate all the flavors.
  6. Serve and enjoy: Dish out the chicken and gravy over cooked rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes for a hearty, satisfying meal.

Notes

  • Using chicken thighs instead of breasts will yield a slightly juicier and more flavorful dish.
  • Dijon mustard is optional but adds a subtle tanginess that enhances the gravy’s flavor.
  • For a thicker gravy, you can use less chicken broth or simmer the mixture uncovered for the last 30 minutes.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • This recipe can be doubled easily for larger groups, just ensure your crockpot is large enough.
