Crockpot Chicken and Gravy
Description
This recipe involves placing three pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a slow cooker. A sauce made from canned cream of chicken soup, chicken gravy mix, and minced garlic is spread over the chicken before cooking. Depending on the slow cooker’s heat setting, the dish cooks for 3 hours on high or 5 hours on low.
Once the chicken is fully cooked and tender, it is shredded directly in the gravy, mixing well with the sauce. Freshly chopped parsley and cracked black pepper are stirred in at the end to brighten the flavor. The result is a creamy, garlicky chicken stew with a thick gravy suitable for spooning over sides.
Serving suggestions include packaged mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles to absorb the gravy. The recipe allows flexibility in serving, and the chicken can also remain in pieces instead of shredded depending on preference.
Cook times vary by slow cooker; the key sign of doneness is chicken that shreds easily. The gravy can be whisked well if serving whole breast pieces topped with the sauce.
Ingredients
- 3 pounds chicken breast boneless, skinless
- 2 .5 ounce cream of chicken soup canned
- 1 packet chicken gravy mix
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ cup parsley minced
- 2 teaspoons black pepper cracked
Instructions
- Add the chicken to a 5 quart slow cooker.
- In a small bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, gravy mix, and garlic.
- Spread the cream soup mixture over the chicken.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 3 hours or low for 5 hours.
- When the chicken is cooked through, shred the meat with two forks. Stir the meat into the gravy mixture.
- Add the parsley and pepper to the slow cooker and stir well to combine.
- Serve chicken spooned over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
Notes
- Adjust cooking time as slow cooker temperatures vary; chicken is done when it easily shreds.
- This dish pairs well with mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.
- For serving whole chicken pieces, remove them, whisk the gravy, and pour it over the chicken.
- Using packaged mashed potatoes that can be microwaved keeps the meal easy and convenient.
