Ingredients For Crock Pot Chicken and Gravy

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)

  • 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup

  • 1 packet chicken gravy mix (0.87 oz)

  • 1 cup chicken broth (or water)

Optional (for extra flavor):

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder

  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crock Pot: Lightly spray your slow cooker with non-stick spray.

  2. Mix the Gravy: In a bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, gravy mix, and chicken broth until smooth.

  3. Add Chicken: Place chicken breasts in the Crock Pot. Pour the gravy mixture evenly over the chicken.

  4. Cook:

    • On low for 6–7 hours OR

    • On high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender.

  5. Shred & Stir: Once cooked, shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker using two forks. Stir everything together so the chicken is fully coated in gravy.

  6. Serve: Spoon over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Notes

  • You can substitute cream of mushroom soup for a slightly different flavor.

  • Add sliced mushrooms or frozen peas for extra texture and nutrition.

  • The gravy thickens slightly as it cools.

Tips

  • Use chicken thighs for richer flavor and juicier results.

  • If the gravy is too thick, thin it with a splash of milk or broth before serving.

  • Want extra creaminess? Stir in a tablespoon of sour cream or cream cheese at the end.
