Crock Pot Chicken and Gravy is one of the easiest slow cooker meals to make. Just a handful of ingredients, about 5 minutes of prep time, and 6 hours in the crock pot and you have a warm and delicious down-home meal.
To me simple foods are the most comforting and this Crock Pot Chicken and Gravy couldn’t be simpler. It will remind you of supper at your grandmother’s house.
How To Serve
Shredded white meat chicken is absolutely swimming in a thick, rich, and flavorful gravy. Serve it over white rice or mashed potatoes with a side of green beans or peas for a family meal like no other. And don’t forget the Yeast Rolls!
Ingredients Needed
- 2 packets chicken gravy mix
- 1 (10-ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
- Black Pepper
- Garlic Powder
- Chicken Breasts
- Sour Cream
How To Make Crock Pot Chicken and Gravy
Full recipe instructions can be found below.
The ingredients can be mixed together right in the crock pot so there are no dishes to clean for this meal. Just dump 2 packets of chicken gravy mix, a can of condensed chicken soup, 1 3/4 cups water, and some black pepper and garlic powder in the crock pot and stir.
Add the chicken, place the lid on top, and set to cook on LOW for 6 to 7 hours and walk away.
- Remove the lid from the crock pot, stir in 1/3 cup of sour cream to give the gravy some creaminess, and shred the chicken. So easy!
Equipment Needed
You will need a 5 to 6-quart or slightly larger slow cooker. I love my Hamilton Beach 6-Quart Programmable Slow Cooker.
Should I Cook Chicken On High or Low?
When cooking boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the slow cooker, I recommend using the LOW setting. Cooking them on HIGH can make them dry and chewy. Newer slow cookers tend to get much hotter than old ones and even the LOW setting cooks pretty hot. Your chicken may be done in less than 6 hours on LOW if you have a newer model.
How To Store
Leftovers reheat well if you have any. Store for 4 to 5 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat in a microwave.

Can you cook it on high ti cook it faster?
Delicious and easy meal that my whole family enjoyed. Other than adding some red pepper (we like spicy) we stuck to the recipe.
Going to try it today. Using cornstarch etc because I do not have chicken gravy.
this is like the shortcut to homemade chicken n biscuits! I love it! we just throw the biscuits on top of mashed potatoes then load on the yummmy chicken n gravy and no one knows the difference here! 🙂
I was a bit skeptical at first, but I added some garlic salt. And it really set the dish off. My family love this meal. I just say yes.

I am so excited to taste this recipe. My crock pot is cooking now and it smells delicious 😍. I even added a touch of my own creamy Alfredo sauce. I am not normally a gravy girl so I added my own touch. I am excited for some creamy chicken. Thank you, this is now my go to recipe for shredded chicken.
Thank you for easy “stick your ribs” recipe. Very flavorful dish, perfect hot meal for a chilly night here in western WA . I did serve over rice, but I think my many leftovers will go good into a stovetop stuffing casserole for next night dinner! All other reviewers are correct gravy is thin but isn’t going to stop me from sharing or saving this recipe.
i don’t do gravy meals too often, but want to make this, does the gravy thicken somehow or does it stay that watery?
Just made this tonight! Very good. Didn’t do garlic powder. Did minced garlic. Tasted just as good I’m sure!
