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.

I forgot to put this in the crock pot this morning, so sad! But I am determined to have it for dinner tonight so I am trying it in my dutch oven. I have made it before twice in my crock pot (I never add the sour cream) and we love it! I’ll let you know how it cooks on the stove. I am using cream of chicken with herbs this time around just for fun!
This was so good and easy! I used boneless, skinless thighs (out preference), and stirred in some frozen peas towards the end, then served it over biscuits.
I made this last night for dinner – it was really good, everyone loved it and will make it again.
I tried it loved it the second time instead of putting cream of chicken soup I put gravy of chicken hope that’s not a problem hope not salty but love it
So if i want to use 5 pounds of chicken i just multiplie all the by 5?
This is in the crockpot now! I had almost 2 and three-quarter pounds of chicken, so I put in two cans of chicken gravy, two cans of cream of mushroom soup, and a can of cream of chicken. I did put salt, pepper and the garlic powder on the chicken breast before I put them in the crockpot. I added two cans of water to the mix before I added in the chicken to thin it out a little bit. Now I’m worried it may get too thin as the chicken cooks. If it does, I plan on adding some dried mashed potato flakes to thicken it up. I am planning to serve this over egg noodles, if I can find them in the pantry! I will let you know how it turns out. Looking forward to dinner tonight!
Do I need to defrost the chicken first?
No need to defrost first 🙂
hey all-
I made this and it tasted amazing. I used 2 cups of chicken broth instead of water and added a little corn starch to thicken it up. I served it over no yolk egg white dumpling noodles. The noodles worked great! So delicious 🙂
Wonderful – thank you Sheena! Love it over noodles too!
I made this tonight as my first ever slow cooker recipe and it was amazing! Substituted one cup of chicken broth for one of the cups of water. I forgot to buy the sour cream so the gravy was a little thin, but it was still awesome! This would be great to use in a chicken pot pie, or as a shepherd’s pie but swap this for the beef.
Great job Steve!! I so appreciate you coming back here to leave a comment!
Can you use breast with rib
With rib meat or rib bones? If you use the one with rib meat – yes. With rib bones, you’ll obviously need to pick the bones clean and make sure there aren’t any that broke off while cooking. Hope that helps!
Gave this a trial run yesterday and served over rice – delicious! Will definitely be making this for my kids in our regular rotation, thank you!
YES! Thank you Chris!
Made this tonight and I’m in love! Pure comfort food. I used Campbell’s Chicken and Herb soup, did not add any extra salt, cooked on high in my crock pot for 3-1/2 hours (mine runs hot), and added the sour cream at the end. I also used my Pampered Chef Mix & Chop to shred the chicken. Served it over mashed potatoes (thank you, Bob Evans), and loved every bite. Thanks for sharing such a simple, delicious recipe. This is a keeper!
Oh wow – thank you Laura!! I always appreciate hearing when a recipe turns out good!
Definitely will be trying this. I think I will add some frozen peas after shredding the chicken.
This was absolutely phenomenal! It will definitely be used again. My wife loved it too and she is very picky. Yummy!
I love when we please the picky people!! LOL! Thanks so much Kayleigh!!
My kids are always asking me to make this dish! Especially once the weather gets cold. Love , Love , Love how easy it is to prepare.
Awwww Lisa – I love hearing that!! Thank you!!
My family loves this recipe! I always double it and use chicken broth in place of the water because I want leftovers. Add mixed veggies and cream of potato soup with crescent roll crust and it’s a really good pot pie!
If you use the canned gravy, do you still have to add the water?
Thank you Brandie, this is my fav crock pot meal. I have been making this thanks to you for a few years now. Busy mom, so I finally found a sec to comment for ya. I even bought a bulk size of gravy mix to have on hand ????Again thank you!
How do I cook or adjust the time if using shredded rotisserie chicken?
Hi making this now when would you add frozen veggies?
If you cooked this in the oven, what temp and time would you suggest? I love the crockpot but work longer hours than cooking time needed.
Hi Kaylene! I always tell my working Mommas to try to get a digital slow cooker. You can get them fairly inexpensively at Walmart or Amazon. That way you can put it on and then when it’s done cooking, it will go to a “Warm” setting to be ready when you get home! 🙂 But I haven’t tried cooking it in the oven. I would guess perhaps 350f for about 45 minutes. Start there and then adjust time as needed until chicken is thoroughly cooked.
What can I use if I don’t have the packet of chicken gravy?
Hi, I’m planning a church meal for 400 and want to use your recipe! I’ve made it at home for the last few years in my crockpot, but I will be using large electric roasters for my church. Any suggestions for using this recipe x100 in an electric roaster?
Making right now! Looks so good. Making mine with real mashed potatoes☺
Love this recipe, big hit!! Only thing I did differently was to add 1 tsp rosemary and 1 tsp Thyme over the top of gravy mix after adding the chicken to the slow cooker. Love this recipe
