How to Make Crockpot Chicken and Gravy
You can jump to the recipe card for full ingredients & instructions!
- Place chicken in the slow cooker.
- Whisk your gravy ingredients together in a small bowl and add to the crockpot.
- Cook on low for 4 hours,
- Shred the chicken breasts, then add in the rest of your gravy ingredients.
- Garnish and serve over rice or your favorite side.
This recipe calls for boneless, skinless chicken breasts, but you could also use boneless, skinless chicken thighs.
I do not recommend cooking chicken from frozen in the crockpot, as it spends too much time in the “temperature danger zone”, which could cause food poisoning. Be sure to thaw your chicken fully before using it.
You sure can! Omit the soup and gravy mix, and substitute with an equal amount of homemade gravy mixed with the low sodium chicken broth. I recommend starting with this make ahead gravy recipe and using chicken in place of the turkey.
Serving Suggestions
This heart meal is great with white or brown rice, mashed potatoes, bread for dipping – so good! You can of course add more sides if you wish. Here’s some favorites:
- Baked Mac and Cheese
- Homemade Hawaiian Rolls
- Three Cheese Asparagus Gratin
- Garlic Mashed Cauliflower
The gravy is so good, made with sour cream and chicken soup, it has a rich and luscious flavor.
Storage Instructions
Store leftover crockpot chicken and gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Serving Variations
Instead of cooked rice, serve the chicken and gravy over mashed potatoes or stuffing.
You could also serve over noodles or even slap this between some chunky bread for a super sandwich!
If you want to put in veggies, go for it! Peas, carrots or sweetcorn would be great.

This recipe is perfect!! I had some cranberry sauce on the side and it was like a Holiday feast😊 I’m so glad I found this recipe! It is already being requested again!
Very good recipe! I wanted it to cook a little faster though, so I used already cooked, pre-shredded rotisserie chicken, instead of raw. I also doubled the gravy ingredients (soup, broth, gravy & sour cream), added a half stick of butter (because butter is the secret of life) and it didn’t quite thicken up to where I wanted, possibly because I cooked it quicker, so I thickened it up with a milk/corn starch slurry. I served it over mashed potatoes topped with corn kernels and everyone in my house loved it. Thanks for the recipe!
Thanks for sharing what worked for you, Jessica! We suspect doubling the gravy ingredients combined with the quicker cook time is what caused it not to thicken up properly. A cornstarch slurry is exactly what we would’ve done!

Another slam dunk in our house. I also think this meal would be good with lime, cilantro, and served with a fresh tortilla.
Sounds like some great add-ins!
