Description

This Slow Cooker Chicken and Gravy recipe delivers tender, flavorful chicken breasts cooked low and slow in a creamy, savory gravy. Perfect for an easy, comforting meal, this dish combines simple pantry ingredients including chicken gravy mix, cream of chicken soup, and a hint of garlic and paprika for depth. The juicy chicken is shredded and smothered in a smooth sour cream-enriched gravy, ideal for serving over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 3 whole chicken breasts, boneless, skinless (about 1 pound)

Sauce

  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 2 packets chicken gravy mix
  • 1 1/4 cup condensed cream of chicken soup (undiluted)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions

  1. Season the Chicken: Sprinkle garlic powder, black pepper, and kosher salt evenly over the chicken breasts to season them well.
  2. Prepare the Sauce: In the slow cooker, whisk together water, chicken gravy mix, condensed cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, kosher salt, paprika, and black pepper until smooth and fully combined to create the savory base for the dish.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the slow cooker and coat them evenly with the prepared sauce. Cover the cooker with the lid and cook on low heat for 4 to 5 hours until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
  4. Shred the Chicken: Carefully remove the cooked chicken breasts from the slow cooker. Using two forks, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces or your preferred texture.
  5. Finish with Sour Cream: Stir the sour cream into the gravy left in the slow cooker until smooth and creamy. Return the shredded chicken to the gravy or serve the gravy over the shredded chicken on plates.

Notes

  • Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts for easy shredding and consistent cooking.
  • For thicker gravy, you can cook uncovered in the last 30 minutes to reduce liquid.
  • Serve this chicken and gravy over mashed potatoes, steamed rice, or buttered noodles for a hearty meal.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste before serving, adding more salt or pepper if desired.
