Why You’ll Love This Slow Cooker Chicken and Gravy

There’s a reason Slow Cooker Chicken and Gravy has been winning hearts across American kitchens — it’s:

• Effortless: Toss everything into the slow cooker and let it work its magic.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s what you’ll be tossing into your magical slow cooker:

• 2½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (thawed if frozen)
• 10.25 ounces cream of chicken soup (one standard can)
• 1.74 ounces chicken gravy mix (two envelopes)
• 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• ½ cup sour cream
• Kosher salt, to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• Cooked rice, for serving
• Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

(And maybe a nice apron, because things could get deliciously messy.)

How to Make This Slow Cooker Chicken and Gravy

1. Prep Your Chicken

Place your thawed chicken breasts into the bottom of your slow cooker like you’re tucking them into a little flavor bed. Give them a sprinkle of kosher salt and cracked black pepper.

2. Whip Up the Flavor Bomb

In a bowl, stir together the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and both envelopes of gravy mix until it’s smoother than your best dance moves. Pour this mixture evenly over the chicken.

3. Set It and Forget It

Cover your slow cooker and set it on low for 6–7 hours or high for about 4 hours.
You’ll know it’s ready when the chicken practically falls apart with a fork — a true hallmark of greatness!

4. Final Touches

Shred the cooked chicken right in the pot using two forks. Stir in the sour cream and give it a good mix until creamy and luscious.

5. Serve It Up!

Spoon the chicken and gravy over a warm bed of rice (or mashed potatoes, if that’s your jam). Sprinkle with fresh parsley to make it look extra fancy — like you actually tried (shh, we’ll keep your secret).

• Make It a Meal: Add steamed veggies on the side — broccoli, green beans, or even peas fit right in.
• Leftovers: This dish actually tastes better the next day (hello, easy meal prep win!).
