Crock Pot Chicken & Gravy


I am a huge fan of crock-pot 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.  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 anytime of year!

I love crockpot meals too and need to use it more. This looks great Stephanie.

Shannon said...

This looks delicious! These may be silly questions, but I'll ask anyway :)

Do you cook the chicken breasts first? I assume these are boneless, skinless chicken breasts.

Also, how many servings is this good for? thanks! :)

Shannon - I used boneless skinless chicken breasts. Do not cook them before you put them in the crockpot. The crock pot will cook them for you. This made enough for 2-3 people - just depends on how big the chicken breast are.

Sounds, simple and quite good!

Can you use frozen chicken or should it be thawed?

Steph@PlainChicken.com said...

muststartover - you could use frozen chicken. Just cook it a little longer - 7-8 hours. Perfect for a work day.

Just found this recipe, which looks lovely.

Kind of a dumb question, but is the rice going into the crockpot or are you serving the contents of the crock pot on a bed of rice.

The picture looks like the rice is mixed in the sauce, so I wasn't sure.

Kerry said...

Just setting things up so any answer gets emailed to me. Sorry for the double comment.

Steph@PlainChicken.com said...

Kerry - I did mix the cooked rice in with the sauce after the chicken cooked, but you can just serve the chicken and gravy over the rice if you prefer.

Kerry said...

Thanks.

I just tried this recipe for dinner and it was both delicious and simple!! My favorite kind of recipe. I have tried a number of your recipes and I'm never disappointed! I enjoy following your blog and look forward to new recipes everyday.

Yum! I do something similar with Turkey. Thank you for making me drool!

Brandee said...

If you want to feed 6-8 people do you just double everything? This looks so good and sounds so simple that it kind of scares me!!

Steph@PlainChicken.com said...

Yes, I would double it for 6-8 people. Simple food is often the best food!

I made this recipe for dinner last night and it was soooo good. We gobbled it right up. Thank you!!

MelissAnn said...

This recipe looks GREAT, I am planning on making it for dinner tomorrow. Just one question, (might be a dumb one) but the gravy packet says to mix the contents with water, did you do that, or just dump the powder in with the chicken & soup?

Steph@PlainChicken.com said...

Just dump the packet it with the chicken and soup

Paula said...

I didn't have any packets of gravy so I just dumped in two jars of chicken gravy. Hope it turns out! Your's looks delish though!

Sarah Robinson said...

What size can of cream of chicken soup?

JessLHanson said...

Making this tonight :)
One question: do you dilute the soup with water or milk as directed on the can or just leave it thick?
Thanks :)

Stephanie Parker said...

Jess - just leave it thick - undiluted

Enjoy!

Jessica Hanson said...

Awesome, thanks so much! I figured that was correct, glad to hear I didn't mess it up :)

CheJohnson said...

Could you cook it on high to cut the time a little.

Stephanie Parker said...

CheJohnson - absolutely. Cook it on high for 2-3 hours. Enjoy!

Paige Mitchell said...

Making this tonight, and was wondering if it tastes good with mashed potatoes?

Stephanie Parker said...

Paige - I think it would be great with mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
