This comforting Crock-Pot Chicken and Gravy recipe features tender, shredded chicken simmered in a creamy gravy, perfect for serving over mashed potatoes or rice. It’s an easy, hands-off meal that your family will love, making it ideal for busy weekdays or cozy weekend dinners. With simple ingredients and slow cooking, this dish delivers rich flavors and a satisfying texture with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Gravy Mixture

  • 2 packets chicken gravy mix
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

To Serve & Garnish

  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
  • Mashed potatoes or rice for serving

Instructions

  1. Place Chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of a crockpot. This forms the base of the dish and ensures even cooking.
  2. Mix Gravy Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chicken gravy mix, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth. This creates the rich gravy that will flavor the chicken as it cooks.
  3. Pour Gravy: Pour the gravy mixture evenly over the chicken in the crockpot, making sure all pieces are well-coated for maximum flavor.
  4. Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours. This slow cooking tenderizes the chicken and melds the flavors beautifully.
  5. Shred Chicken: Once cooked, shred the chicken directly in the crockpot using two forks. Stir it well with the gravy so each bite is flavorful.
  6. Serve: Serve the shredded chicken and gravy over mashed potatoes or rice. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired for a touch of color and freshness.

Notes

  • Adjust the seasoning to taste before cooking to suit your preference.
  • This dish pairs well with mashed potatoes, rice, steamed vegetables, or a simple green salad.
  • Use frozen chicken breasts if short on time; add an extra hour to the cooking time on low.
  • For thicker gravy, mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water and stir into the crockpot during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • Add chopped vegetables like carrots, celery, or peas at the start for extra nutrition.
  • This recipe can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
  • Experiment with adding herbs such as thyme or rosemary, or substitute gravy mix with BBQ sauce for variation.
