Crock Pot Chicken and Gravy

This crock pot chicken and gravy recipe is my go-to for those nights when you know you're too busy to cook. Toss it all into the crock pot before you go to work and it's ready when you come home. Deliciously creamy, juicy and tender chicken full of flavor.

I actually like making this when we go tailgating too, it's a simple meal to fix it and leave it while the game is playing!

We typically serve this chicken and gravy on rice but it's also good on a nice crusty bread roll.

❤️ Why you'll love it

• There are only a handful of ingredients, typically stuff you'll find in your pantry day to day.
• It's inexpensive - with today's economy the way it is I'm always on the look out for a cost-effective meal.
• With this easy recipe, you can literally have this meal together in less than 5 minutes!
• A slow cooker chicken meal can't be beat for a family friendly meal.
• It's pure comfort food the whole family will enjoy in those winter months.
• If you have picky kids (like I do) then the lack of onions or other offensive tidbits will have the wolfing it down.
• It's a great recipe for leftover chicken too.

🧅 Ingredients

• Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
• Creole Seasoning
• Chicken Gravy Packets
• Chicken Broth
• Cream of Mushroom Soup
• Cream of Chicken Soup
• Fresh Parsley (optional Garnish)
• Salt and black pepper (optional - to taste)

See recipe card at the bottom of this post for quantities.

🥣 Instructions

• Step 1: Place chicken breasts to the bottom of the slow cooker and season with Creole Seasoning.
• Step 2: In a large mixing bowl add the two soups, chicken gravy and the chicken broth and mix together with a whisk.
• Step 3: Pour this mixture over the top of the chicken breasts, cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours.
• Step 4: Take 2 forks and shred the chicken.
• Step 5: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with a small sprinkle of chopped parsley (for color). Serve this creamy gravy over white rice or egg noodles.

Hint: This recipe uses a lot of sodium rich products, so the need for salt at the end of cooking should not be required. I find it perfectly seasoned without the need to add any more. This is personal preference though.

🔄 Substitutions and Variations

• Chicken Thighs- I used breast but you could use chicken thighs or chicken tenders just as easily.
• Garlic Powder - Add a little garlic flavor.
• Onion Powder - Adds a little sweet onion flavor.
• Sour Cream - Some people add sour cream for richness.
• Ranch Seasoning - instead of one of the gravy packets.
• Poultry Seasoning - instead of the Creole seasoning.
• Turkey Breasts - instead of the juicy chicken breasts.
• Cauliflower Rice - serve with this instead of white rice.
• Brown Rice - serve with this instead of white rice.
• Cranberry Sauce - serve with a little of this on the side. It'll taste like Thanksgiving.
• Instant Pot - Speed things up, try this recipe in the instant pot.

Not much equipment needed. I used a 6 quart slow cooker for this recipe and a medium/large mixing bowl.

I used a whisk to mix the gravy ingredients but you could use a fork.

💡 Tips

Expert Tip: If you like your gravy a little bit thicker, for best results I recommend using instant mashed potatoes. This is a great way to thicken any gravy and it also imparts great flavor too. Add slowly and carefully, stirring.
