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.

Can I use chicken tenders? If so how many??
It was very good and extremely simple to make. I added frozen peas at the very end and brought it back up to temperature, before serving it over cauliflower rice. While it isn’t too low carb with the packaged gravy and cream soup, i didn’t want to add more by putting it over mashed potatoes or pasta.
Hello can i use brown gravy mix instead of chicken gravy ?
Hi Nisha – if that is what you prefer, you could certainly do that! 🙂
This is so tasty! My whole family loved it. This is staying in my recipe collection forever! Helpful note to my instant pot friends, I put all the things that the author put for the gravy, dropped THAWED chicken breasts, and pressure cooked for 8 minutes and released pressure immediately.
It was a hit!
Thank you so much for all the tips Julia! That is so helpful!!
I am new to freezer meals,and actually got here because I was reading a new mom’s blog about what frees freezer meals ma de, but would you know,at what point would I freeze it? Sorry its a
How would I make this on the stove stop due to not having a crock pot at the moment ???
I love this in the Crockpot. Is there an instant pot method besides the slow cooker function.
I have a few ideas, but I’m not in the mood to mess up dinner tonight.
This was a great hit at the dinner table for my family. Super simple and basically ready when I walked in the door. Thanks so much for a wonderful dinner.
Absolutely love hearing that Jennifer! Thank you for taking the time to come back and let me know!!
What can be used instead of sour cream?
Hmmmm…softened cream cheese or maybe greek yogurt?
I did use frozen chicken breasts. Turned out great!
Oh awesome! Thank you for letting me know!
How long did you cook it for with frozen chicken breasts?
Can you use frozen chicken breasts?
That’s a good question! I don’t see why not!
Excellent!!! I won’t be looking for another shredded chicken and gravy recipe. Only thing I didn’t add was the salt to the chicken because I wasn’t certain if this would be salty. Turned out perfect! I previously made a different shredded chicken recipe that was way too salty. I’m glad you posted this 1! This went great with stuffing! Thank you
Hi Deborah! Thanks so much for coming back to leave such a wonderful review. Love hearing how much you enjoyed it!
You’re welcome. After making a different chicken & gravey recipe that was too salty I didn’t think I would find a good one that was made with packet chicken gravey & soup. I was Happily surprised! ( the other recipe used chicken broth). This was also very easy & didn’t take up a lot of time to make. Thankyou!!!????
I made this tonight served it with mash potatoes green peas and carrots it was a hit. I only changed two things I used chicken broth and roasted gravy mix. I live in Louisiana and this is comfort food the gravy was smooth as silk. This is a keeper thanks for a wonderful recipe
Couldn’t you just add noodles to it after it’s done? Like for chicken and noodles.
You could. Just don’t overfill with noodles. 🙂
How would this work if the recipe was doubled? Would time be affected? How well does it work on the “keep warm” function for a few hours once cooking is done?
I made this and enjoyed it very much!
Delicious. So simple. My husband likes it and my son ate it, which is not easy to find. I don’t use any low sodium ingredients, although I know I should. I add my personal kitchen basics, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Beau Monde. Awesome!
Do you actually make the chicken gravy before you mix it in the dish? Or just use the powder in the mix?
Can i cook this om high for 3-4 hrs instead of low 6-8hrs?
Was wondering the same thing.
Yes, you can. 🙂 I just prefer the texture of the chicken when it’s been cooked on low and not high.
Absolutely wonderful. I seasoned the chicken breast with the garlic and Mrs. Dash. I didn’t use the 2 cups of water instead I did 2 cups of my own chicken stock. Worth it to use chicken stock instead of water – really brings out the chicken taste. My chicken gravy was low sodium too. I topped this over mashed potatoes that I also made using my chicken stock. Great recipe!
Very, very good,, my picky son even liked it, we had it over mashed potatoes. I had something like this in elementary/ middle school in Michigan for lunch and Was so happy to find this recipe ❤️ Thank you for sharing!
Absolutely wonderful!!! EASY and delicious! Thank you for sharing!!
Tried this. Loved it. Didn’t change anything.
I just wanted to add that i misread the recipe and mixed the sour cream in from the start and it turns out really well too!
So glad to hear that Angela. Thank you for commenting!
Hello! I absolutely LOVE this recipe. However I just received an Instapot for Xmas and was wondering if you or anyone else has tried making it that way? I’m worried about how to covert the time and all that.
I too would love to know if an instant pot would work…
Hi Karine – I honestly have not tried it yet. It should definitely work. You just may need to add a little bit of water to ensure that it comes up to pressure.
