Slow Cooker Chicken and Gravy Recipe
When you need an easy, totally comforting recipe for your family dinner this Crock Pot Chicken and Gravy is it. Not only do we make this recipe on the regular for dinner, but we also like to make it on game day or for parties!
You can serve this chicken and gravy on toast points like we have here for a hot, open faced sandwich. Or spoon it over rice or noodles for the most comforting dinner ever. We always seem to think of comfort food recipes that take all day to make, and those are fantastic but this chicken recipe practically makes itself!
Directions:
- Add chicken breasts (you can also use boneless, skinless chicken thighs) to a 6-8 quart crock pot.
- Season the chicken breasts with poultry seasoning, dried thyme, salt and pepper.
- Mix together condensed cream of chicken soup, 2 chicken gravy packets and 1 1/2 cups of water. Pour over the chicken.
- Set the slow cooker on low for 4 hours. Remove the chicken from the slow cooker, shred and stir back into the gravy.
Tips For Success
As mentioned, you can also use boneless, skinless chicken thighs for this recipe but they will take longer to cook. If the chicken breasts that you are using are quite large, cut them in half before placing them into your slow cooker.
The gravy turns out quite thick, and will thicken more as it cools down. However, if you like a very thick gravy you can add a cornstarch slurry to the gravy at the end of the cooking time and continue to cook with the lid of for 15 minutes longer.

Can I dice the chicken 1st instead of shredding at the end of cooking??
The chicken would cook too quickly if it was diced up so I wouldn’t recommend doing that.
Thanks for the recipe! Made it with boneless, skinless thighs seasoned with a carne asada blend. During the last hour, I sautéed some celery, mushrooms, garlic, and onion and added it to the pot. Served over white rice.
Sounds like great additions! We’re so happy you liked it!
This one is a keeper! We love our comfort food but trying to watch the carb intake so this recipe fits the bill! I serve it over a keto pasta or cauliflower rice. It’s delicious!
