Crockpot Chicken and Gravy is a comforting, easy-to-make meal that comes together with minimal effort. The chicken breasts cook slowly in a rich, savory gravy, resulting in tender, flavorful chicken that’s perfect when served over rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

Scale

34 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

¼ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

¼ teaspoon garlic powder

2 packets of chicken gravy mix (0.87 ounce each)

1 can of cream of chicken soup (10.5 ounce)

1 can of chicken broth (14.5 ounce)

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard (optional)

Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the crockpot: Spray the inside of the crockpot with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.

2️⃣ Season the chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Place them directly into the crockpot.

3️⃣ Make the gravy: In a small bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, chicken gravy mix, chicken broth, and Dijon mustard (if using). Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.

4️⃣ Pour over chicken: Pour the gravy mixture over the chicken breasts in the crockpot, making sure the chicken is evenly coated.

5️⃣ Cook: Seal the crockpot with its lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the chicken is tender and can easily be shredded with a fork.

6️⃣ Shred the chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the crockpot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot and mix it well with the gravy.

7️⃣ Serve: Serve the shredded chicken and gravy over cooked rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes for a hearty and satisfying meal.

Notes

  • This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed vegetables or a simple green salad for a complete meal.

  • For a richer flavor, you can substitute the chicken broth with homemade broth or low-sodium broth.

  • The Dijon mustard adds a subtle tang, but it can be omitted if you prefer a milder flavor.
