Crockpot Chicken & Gravy is a simple and comforting dish that’s perfect for busy weeknights. By using a slow cooker, you can let chicken breasts or thighs simmer with a savory gravy mixture, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully while you focus on other tasks. The result is a tender, flavorful chicken with a rich, creamy gravy that pairs well with mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables.
Ingredients:
- 4 skinless chicken breasts
- 1 ounce dry ranch salad dressing and seasoning mix
- 1 (10.5 ounce) can of cream of condensed chicken soup
- 1 cup water or chicken broth
Instructions
- Grease the slow cooker with non-stick spray.
- Place the chicken into the bottom of the Crock Pot.
- Top with the chicken soup.
- Sprinkle the ranch seasoning on top and pour the water over the seasoning.
- Replace the lid and cook on low for seven hours.
- Once it is done cooking, shred chicken with a fork, and serve over mashed potatoes.
Variations: Try adding vegetables like carrots, potatoes, or mushrooms to the crockpot for a complete meal. For a different flavor, use cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup instead of cream of chicken. You can also add herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra seasoning.
Tips: Use boneless, skinless chicken thighs for a juicier result. To thicken the gravy, mix a bit of cornstarch with water and stir it into the crockpot during the last hour of cooking. Be sure to season well and adjust salt and pepper to taste.
