Crockpot Chicken & Gravy is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that results in tender, flavorful chicken in a creamy gravy. Here’s a simple recipe for you:
Ingredients:
- 4-6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 packet (about 1 ounce) dry ranch seasoning mix
- 1 packet (about 1 ounce) dry onion soup mix
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup sour cream (optional, for added creaminess)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Crockpot: Lightly grease the bottom of your crockpot to prevent sticking.
- Layer Chicken in the Crockpot: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts evenly at the bottom of the crockpot.
- Add Seasonings and Broth: Sprinkle the dry ranch seasoning mix and dry onion soup mix evenly over the chicken breasts. Pour the chicken broth over the chicken to ensure it’s evenly moistened.
- Cook on Low: Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on low heat for 6-7 hours or until the chicken is tender and easily shreddable with a fork.
- Make the Gravy: About 30 minutes before serving, mix the cream of chicken soup with sour cream (if using) in a bowl until well combined. Pour this mixture into the crockpot, stirring gently to combine with the cooking liquids and chicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Finish and Serve: Continue cooking for another 30 minutes to allow the gravy to thicken and flavors to meld. Once done, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crockpot and mix it with the creamy gravy.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish the Crockpot Chicken & Gravy with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Serve the tender chicken and creamy gravy over cooked rice, mashed potatoes, or with your favorite side dishes.
