Crock Pot Chicken and Gravy
This recipe for Crock Pot Chicken and Gravy is a family favorite. Chicken, gravy mix, cream of chicken, sour cream and seasoning. Delicious and creamy!
AN EASY FAMILY-FAVORITE CROCK POT RECIPE
This slow cooker meal is one of my favorites because it is one of those meals where you pretty much just pop all the ingredients in the crock pot, put the lid on, set it and go. It’s also one of those meals my whole family likes and it doesn’t take a lot of ingredients. This is definitely up there in favorites along with my Crock Pot Pork Chops and Gravy!
WHAT DO I SERVE WITH CROCK POT CHICKEN & GRAVY?
My favorite way to serve this is over rice but we really like it with my Million Dollar Mashed Potatoes or some Honey Glazed Sweet Potatoes and some Butter Swim Biscuits. Either way, it is scrumptious!
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE)
- chicken gravy mix
- cream of chicken soup
- water
- boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- garlic powder, salt and black pepper
- sour cream
- rice, mashed potatoes or noodles, for serving
HOW TO MAKE CROCK POT CHICKEN AND GRAVY
Season chicken breasts with garlic powder, black pepper and just a tad bit of salt on both sides. Note: the chicken gravy and cream of chicken soup already have salt in them so don’t go overboard on seasoning with salt (about a teaspoon should work.)
In your slow cooker, whisk together the gravy packets, cream of chicken soup, and water. I just whisk until it is mostly smooth.
Add the seasoned chicken breasts.
Be sure to get them covered in gravy.
Cover and cook on low for about 6-8 hours. Once cooked, break chicken up into chunks using a fork.
Stir in sour cream. Serve over rice, mashed potatoes or noodles.

Notes
- The chicken gravy and cream of chicken soup already have salt in them so don’t go overboard on seasoning with salt (about a teaspoon should work).
- Sour cream adds a great creaminess to this so I definitely recommend adding it in! Plain Greek yogurt can be substituted for the sour cream.
- Serve over rice, mashed potatoes or noodles.

My son put this in the crock pot while I was at work. He made it exactly as the recipe said and it was great. Will make again!! We doubled the recipe for our family of six and had a lot of leftovers which tasted just as good.
Love that your sweet son made you dinner! And I’m thrilled that you loved it!!
I see that you can use frozen chicken breast by what does that do to the cook time?
Usually cooks in the same amount of time but to be on the safe side cook it 7-8 hours. (the longer end of the cook time)
This was so good and so easy!
So glad you enjoyed it Brenda!
I ended up making it tonight. I mixed everything in a dish then poured it in my crock pot over the meat after I seasoned the meat. Next time I’m going to do one packet of chicken gravy and one cup of water. (My husband though it was good, but a little soupy and he’s not one for soups much) My son said “You can tell when Dinner is going to be good when it smells good.” And I asked if he liked it and he said “no, I love it” my toddler daughter ate most of it. It’s a keeper! I’ll be making it again. Next time I’m trying dark meat! Thank you for it!
Could I use dark meat like chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts? How long would I cook them for?
I’ve only ever tried it with chicken breasts but you could certainly use chicken thighs. Not sure about the exact timing though…
Thanks for answering! It’s on the menu for next week
If I double this recipe how much longer would I have to cook it? I need enough for 8-10.
Thanks
Depending on the size of your crock pot, you should be able to double and still cook within the same amount of time.
I made this for supper tonight and it was DELICIOUS!!! 🙂
Could you use cream cheese in place of sour cream?
Can I freeze leftovers?
I have not froze the leftovers before but I think that would work fine.
This is delicious!
This recipe looks great! can't wait to try it, if using frozen chicken breast should I adjust the cooking time at all? or would I need to thaw out the chicken breast first? thanks!
My goodness, over waffles sounds so delicious Ryan.
Making these again tonight. This is the 3rd time I've made them and there is never any leftovers. I put mine over waffles which taste amazing.
Can this be frozen before cooking?
I'm trying this recipe for tonight's dinner. Looks like a really good comfort food for those rainy days. Can't wait to see the outcome!
Yummy! What size crockpot is this for? Is a 4 qt too small?
This is perfect! I would like to cook this for a friend, however I will be cooking it ahead of time (probably 5-6 hours before dinner time). What's the best was to reheat it in the crock pot? And would you say cooking it on high for 4 hours would be alright for the initial cooking? Thanks so much for the feedback! I love your recipes!
This was great. Hubby loved it. Added just a tad of creole seasoning to spice it up 🙂
Anonymous – it is 6 hours on low. Also, yes, you could add veggies to the mix. I don't like my veggies too soft or mushy so I would suggest using frozen veggies. If you use fresh, then add them in the last hour of cooking so they stay somewhat firm. Hope that helps!
could one add carrots to this recipe, how would that taste?
I add peas and carrots! Still tastes great!
This was SO good! Didn’t change anything.
Hi,
I'd like to know are you cooking this for 6-8 hours on high ? Do you think 6-8 hours on low would be alright ?
If I missed this info. sorry
Thanks
In the picture the chicken looks closer to 2 pounds than 1.
Can u use frozen chicken breast ?
I've made this several times. Awesome!
