How To Make Crockpot Chicken and Gravy

1. Season the chicken: Coat both sides of the chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

2. Make the gravy: In the base of your crock pot, whisk together the chicken gravy mix, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth until smooth.

3. Cook the chicken: Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the gravy mixture in the crock pot. Make sure to cover them on both sides with the gravy, then cover the crock pot and cook on low for about 4-6 hours.

4. Finish and serve: Once the chicken is fully cooked, shred chicken using two forks. Add ½ cup of sour cream and mix until everything combines. Serve the chicken warm over rice or creamy mashed potatoes and garnish with sliced chives. Enjoy!

Tips To Make The Best Recipe

• Use boneless skinless chicken thighs for a different flavor.
• Use any gravy packets you want, like a brown gravy mix, to change up the flavor.
• Swap the cream of chicken soup for cheddar cheese soup, cream of mushroom soup, or cream of celery soup. Anything goes!
• Feel free to use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to save time. Just mix the chicken with the gravy in the crock pot and cook for about an hour until the dish is fully warmed through.

What Can I Serve with Crock Pot Chicken and Gravy?

Crock pot chicken and gravy tastes great served alongside Mediterranean rice, cheesy mashed potatoes, crack green beans, or these honey glazed carrots. It's also delicious with things like brown rice, cauliflower rice, and egg noodles. 

How To Store Crock Pot Chicken and Gravy

In the fridge: Transfer the leftover crock pot chicken and gravy to an airtight container and store it in the fridge for about 4 days.

In the freezer: To store it even longer, allow your leftovers to cool completely, then freeze it in a freezer-safe container for about 3 months.

Reheating: I always just put the leftovers in a casserole dish with a splash of chicken broth and pop it in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes. You'll want to let the frozen chicken thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating or add more reheating time.
