Some days you just need a good ole’ fashioned stick to your ribs kinda dinner. We love Chicken & Gravy poured over fresh hot biscuits, rice, or even mashed potatoes. Serve with some mixed veggies and you have an amazing meal. I have seen some versions of this that call for canned soup, sour cream, even cream cheese. While I am sure they are amazing, this one is a little more figure friendly. I had quit making this because ….well….I thought the kids wouldn’t eat it. WOW, was I wrong. My youngest cleaned her plate in record time tonight, and then asked if there was more. This meal is not only simple, and affordable, but full of flavor. I will definitely be adding it back to the regular rotation. Prep Time:5 mins Cook Time:8 hrs Total Time:8 hrs 5 mins

Remember this recipe. Pin this recipe to your favorite board now to remember it later! Pin This RecipeEasy Slow Cooker Chicken & GravyI am a huge fan of crockpot meals, especially this time of year. I don’t know about you, but I am really busy during the holiday season. The last thing I want to worry about is dinner. This recipe is super easy and tastes great. Chicken slow-cooked in chicken gravy mix, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth. Serve the shredded chicken over rice and dinner is done. I used Uncle Ben’s Ready Rice, and dinner was ready in less than 5 minutes after walking in the door! Can’t beat that any time of year! How To Make Chicken & Gravy in the CrockpotThis Crockpot Chicken & Gravy is SUPER easy to make. Simply place the chicken in the slow cooker, Season the chicken with salt and pepper. I sometimes use garlic salt or seasoned salt instead of plain salt. Once the chicken is seasoned on both sides, whisk together the gravy packets and soup. Pour the soup over the chicken and cook. Once the chicken is cooked, shred it with two forks right in the slow cooker. We like to serve the chicken over white rice. Feel free to use cooked brown rice, mashed potatoes, or egg noodles. Heck, you could even serve this over some Texas toast for a chicken & gravy sandwich. If you are eating gluten-free, I think this would be great over cauliflower rice or spaghetti squash. I used chicken gravy mix. Feel free to use any packet of gravy mix you prefer. If you want a thinner gravy, add about ½ to 1 cup of water or chicken broth to the soup mixture. Adding some water/chicken broth is a great way to stretch the gravy. The slow cooker gravy is the BEST part of the whole recipe!

Pin This RecipeCan you put chicken in the slow cooker without liquid?There is no need to add water to a whole chicken recipe in the slow cooker. Adding butter or lemon juice is better for infusing flavor. Unless you want poached chicken, do not add water. Adding water can make your whole chicken taste bland.
Can you put cream in the slow cooker?Dairy. Prolonged cooking of dairy products causes them to separate. Adding milk, cream or yogurt to crockpots at the beginning of cooking is a sure-fire way to wind-up with a grainy, watery mess at the end. Stir it in once the recipe has finished cooking.
Can you put frozen chicken in a crockpot overnight?It is not recommended to cook frozen cuts of meat in a slow cooker as it takes a long time for the meat to reach cooking temperature. This increases the chance of food-borne illnesses. It is alway recommended to defrost meat in the fridge before cooking it in the slow cooker.
How do you cook a whole chicken in a slow cooker?Evenly coat the outside of the chicken with a mixture of paprika, salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook the chicken breast-side up for 4 to 5 hours on the high setting, or 6 to 8 hours on low. The juices should run clear when the thickest part of the chicken breast and thigh are pierced with a knife.
