Description
This 3 Ingredient Crockpot Chicken and Gravy is an easy, comforting dinner that requires just chicken, chicken gravy mix, and condensed cream of chicken soup. Everything cooks together in the slow cooker until the chicken is tender enough to shred and coated in rich, savory gravy.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 2 packets chicken gravy mix
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
- 3/4 cup water
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Lightly spray the inside of the crockpot with nonstick cooking spray.
- Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken gravy packets, condensed cream of chicken soup, and 3/4 cup water until smooth. Add black pepper to taste.
- Pour the gravy mixture evenly over the chicken.
- Cover and cook on HIGH for 2–3 hours or LOW for 4–6 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
- Shred the chicken directly in the crockpot using two forks. Stir the shredded chicken into the gravy until evenly coated.
- If the gravy is too thin, mix 2 tablespoons cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water and stir the slurry into the gravy during the final 10–15 minutes of cooking.
- Serve warm over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, rice, biscuits, or stuffing.
Notes
- Use fresh or fully thawed chicken rather than frozen chicken in the slow cooker.
- Chicken thighs can be substituted for breasts for a richer, juicier result.
- For a lower-sodium version, use low-sodium gravy mix and condensed cream of chicken soup.
- Add sliced mushrooms, onions, carrots, or peas for extra flavor and nutrition. If adding vegetables, consider reducing the water slightly.
- For a gluten-free version, use certified gluten-free gravy mix and cream of chicken soup.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for 3–4 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
- To make a freezer meal, combine the raw chicken, gravy mix, and soup in a freezer-safe bag, freeze for up to 2 months, then thaw overnight in the refrigerator before cooking.
