Pin This RecipeEasy Slow Cooker Chicken & Gravy
I 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 Crockpot
This 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!

I have made this recipe several times over the last year and pulled it out again at husband’s request. As written the recipe is SO GOOD! I prefer to use the Pacific brand of Cream of Chicken or Mushroom soup, Simply Organics Chicken Gravy mix, and Simply Organics French Onion Dip mix. This is just personal preference. I’ve made it using generic brands and other popular brands and the recipe is just as good. I like to double the amount of soup and add some stock to make a thinner gravy and add vegetables like mushrooms, peas & carrots, and cauliflower rice and use a mix of skinless, boneless chicken tenders & thighs. Husband loves it over rice and it’s really good with extra wide egg noodles. My in-laws had leftovers warmed and served over biscuits which is what I will try next as they raved about it. You really can’t go wrong with this recipe. I always have these recipe ingredients in my freezer/pantry in the Autumn & Winter months so I can pull a quick dinner together in the morning and have it ready by dinner time or make it the evening before and cook overnight so we have a hearty lunch for snowy days.
I will serve over homemade dressing. Yummy
Can I used pre-made gravy?
can i use cream of mushroom if i don’t have cream of chicken
sure
Can I pour over biscuits? Has anyone tried?
My in-laws loved this over biscuits!
Is there a way to modify this if you have some pre-cooked chicken?
So easy to make and it simply takes amazing! My kids ask for this recipe all the time! They love it with mashed potatoes. Very budget friendly and easy to make.
This recipe has filled my house today with a delicious smell. I just had a terrific Hot Chicken Sandwich. Excellent!!! I will make this again.
My family loved this! I did add fresh broccoli in to cook with and it turned out a big hit!
Your measurement for the chicken is 2-3 breasts. Do you know about how much in weight? 1-2lbs?
Thank you
34-4 breasts I’m sorry.
How would you alter this for cooking them in roasters so I could do a lot more for large gatherings? 🤗
Can I use one package of gravy mix instead of two?
I didn’t like it with two next time I made it I used only one and love it
I only have two pieces of chicken breasts. Will that work?
My chicken breasts are frozen, can I cook on high and be ready in 4-6 hrs?
What is approximate weight of each chicken breast? I have four very large ones and worry that this will affect time in crockpot.
OMG. Just made this, I added fresh celery and carrots. Then I put the chicken and gravy over a kodiak cake waffle! So amazing! It’s a new household favorite!
I’m waiting for this to finish cooking now! I’m going to put the chicken on top of a Kodak cake protein waffle
I made this yummy dinner tonight on a whim and I am glad I did. I was so good. The only thing different that I did was add a pkg. of Lipton onion soup mix and red pepper flakes when I mixed the ingre. together. It was sooo very good ! This meal will def. be in my meal planning rotation. Thanks
How many pounds of chicken breast is this?
If need sooner can you put the crockpot on high ?
Yes
Omg I so can’t wait to try this…I love crockpot recipes they are easy,delicious,and great for busy families!!! Thank you 😊
Going to stray off the cuff a bit and add my own spices. Will comment again in a few days when itsa HIT ☺
LOVE this recipe and how you can really customize. I add spinach to the slow cooker in the last half hour of cooking to get in some veggies for the kids. My whole family loves this.
Followed the recipe exact minus serving over rice. Instead I boiled up finely chopped carrots, made my home made whole wheat pizza dough and made hand held mini pies by using a muffin tin. Kids loved it and my husband took the cold leftover pies for work. Next time I would add the carrots and some celery at the beginning of cooking and some frozen peas at the end.
If I add the frozen vegetables, do I add them at the beginning and they cook for the same amount of time as the chicken, 5 hours?
If I substitute chicken thighs, how many should I use?
I’ve made this before, it was delicious! I am making it this weekend, double batch. I love it best over rice with some LeSeuer baby peas on the side lol. With the leftovers I am going to make a chicken pot pie. I’ll add some peas and carrots, thicken the gravy a little if needed, and bake it in a pie crust.
Hi can I cook this in a pressure cooker ??
I’ve never tried this in a pressure cooker, so I do not know what adjustments (if any) would need to be made.
I’ve made this with jarred liquid gravy and dry mix. They are both good, not a noticeable difference.
I made this today. It was delicious!
Can I use brown gravy instead?
You can try it
Made this today. Had Turkey gravy packet and only onion soup mix. Half a pack. I doubled the soup can. Added carrots. Sooooo goooood!!! My freeloading adult kids(lol), loved it!!! Also great over biscuits! Jk, I love those freeloaders!
Very good and so easy! I served this over brown rice with a side of roasted sweet potatoes and broccoli. Next time I will try serving it over egg noodles. Can’t wait to make this dish again!
I made this at work today, in the little kitchen of the theatre that I work out. It made plenty for 3 adults and we all loved it. Gonna double the recipe next time so I can have some leftovers!!
I don’t have chicken gravy mix I have onion soup or brown gravy? Thoughts anyone
I would say brown gravy mix. Onion soup isn’t the same as gravy.
I am making this and my soup mix and gravy packet mix with the chicken broth is super thick… is that okay ?
Thanks !
It will thin out as it cooks
Can you substitute chicken with turkey?
Would it work to add the uncooked egg noodles to the crockpot and cook after the chicken is done? Or best to just do them on their own?
My whole family really liked this! Thanks for the recipe.
Excellent recipe and so easy to make. Chicken came out perfect and the sauce was delicious. Thank you!
This sounds great. Here is a flight for sides potatoes, package stuffing and cranberry sauce. Would be a great Thanksgiving meal for 2 and very affordable.
I would like to know exactly how many ounces or pounds of chicken to use please! My chicken pieces are huge thats why I ask. Thanks in advance!
Has anyone cooked this on high? Instead of low for 4-6hrs?
Was just wondering how long it would be on high, half the time? 2-3 hours? Just don’t want to over cook the chicken (it’s room temp)… But I’m making it now, and am starting it later then I would have liked to… Haha an would rather now eat dinner at 10pm tonight lol
You can cook it on HIGH
Can you use brown gravy packets if you dont have chicken gravy
You can try it
How did it taste
What do you think about using leftovers for filling a chicken pot pie?
This is the recipe my Grandson (16) reqests every year for his birthday and everytime Grandma asks him what he would like for dinner. BTW tomorrow is his birthday 😉
I only have the packets of brown gravy on hand, do you think that would make an okay substitute instead of chicken gravy?
I have done similar with beef and I sooo look forward to trying this chicken recipe. Looks great.
So would it be something I could drop some dumplings or biscuits on. If yes— towards the end after shredding the chicken?
I dont have chicken gravy, can I use another gravy?
You can try it. It would probably work just fine.
Can this be made in the oven? If so what is the method?
If I wanted to add dry rice in and let it cook with everything, how much would I use?
Anyone use brown gravy instead? I’m trying it right now…
Trying this tonight for dinner for the first time and it already looks gooooooood! Can’t wait to try it with some biscuits. Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year!
enjoy!
Easy and delicious! Served mine over pillsbury buttermilk biscuits. Made recipe exactly as written.
I did the same thing but doubled the gravy mix and used one can cream of chicken with herbs and one with mushrooms. Amazing!!
Well, I didn’t have the gravy mix packets so I used a chicken marsala packet (McCormick) wow! don’t think it could’ve been any better.
I have made this 2x now and it is a certified hit with husband. He loves it and now asks for it weekly! The first time I made it I followed the directions as written and it was delicious. The second time I made it I used 2 packets of gravy mix, one packet of French Onion Dip mix (all from the Simply Organics brand of seasoning packets. No other seasonings added), and extra broth for a thinner gravy. Also very good! I was able to make this in a 4.5 quart oval slow cooker. Next time I am going to try making a chicken & rice soup with the leftovers. I think that would be really good, too.
I don’t have any cram of chicken soup will it be fine without it ?
I don’t think so.
Loved it❗️Going to make again
I want to use frozen veggies (corn and peas) with this recipe. When do you add them to the crock pot?
also – thanks – Looks like a great and easy recipe
You can add them at the beginning or about 30 minutes before serving – just depends on how soft you want them.
I’m using a gravy recipe I hope it turns out good. I didn’t have the gravy packets. Anyone try to make their own gravy?
I hope it turns out good
Can I use brown gravy mix?
sure
Can this be made with just 1 chicken gravy mix? I realized after getting home that I only bought 1 pack.
I’m sure that will be fine.
Are the chicken breasts thin cut or thick?
Just regular chicken breasts not cutlets
Can you make this in the instant pot?
This was delicious. I’ve made it twice now anytime I miss comfort food here in China. It’s my substitute Thanksgiving meal since turkey is hard to find here. I will be trying more of your recipes.
Do you have to use the two packs of gravy?
Make it however you want.
I used one huge, really huge chicken breast to serve my husband and me…so I used one can of cream of mushroom soup and one pack of turkey gravy mix, four and a half hours on low. When it was done I shredded/cut up the chicken and added a bunch of frozen peas and cooked for another fifteen minutes on high. Yummy on rice!
In the directions you state “Do NOT make the gravy. You are only using the dry mix.” What does this mean?
Exactly that. Combine the gravy mix only with the cream of chicken soup.
I only have one packet of gravy mix. Will that be enough?
You can try it. I’m sure it would be fine.
I’ve made this several times now. It’s absolutely delicious, my husband and daughter love it too. Comfort food at it’s finest!
Can you use any other gravy mix like country gravy mix or sausage gravy mix?
I have only made this as written. You can certainly try it. As always, please use your best judgment regarding substitutions and modifications.
I’d bet country gravy would be great! I’m curious how it turned out if you tried it.
This was a simple recipe to follow, smelled great while it was cooking, and everyone loved it. I used homemade cream of chicken instead of store-bought canned version. So good! My husband asked me to put this recipe into regular “rotation” for our family dinners.
So glad you and your family enjoyed it!
Would be good with waffles too! I often make chicken and waffles.
Simple, easy and delicious!
Are we adding water to make condensed soup into soup? I doubled the recipe so to be on the safe side, I added 1 can of water for 1 can of condensed soup and kept the other can condensed. But I did add a can of chicken broth as well…(thinking back, maybe I should’ve just stuck to chicken broth and not add any water). its cooking now, so fingers crossed it wont be too “soupy”… I’m in charge of “family sunday dinner” this week. Wish me luck! 🙂
You do NOT add a can of water to the soup. Only use the can of soup. The only liquid is the 1/2 cup of water or broth listed in the recipe.
Enjoyed this chicken recipe, easy and tasty. I just added more chicken broth to the gravy. Will be having this chicken and gravy regularly. ( I did add some Montreal steak seasoning.)
So what kind(brand)of gravy mix do you use?
McCormick Chicken Gravy Mix
can this be done in a instapot?
I have not made this in the Instant Pot, so I can not say with certantity.
Hi. I’d like to send this with my husband to bring on a hunting trip. Can I mix everything up and put in crockpot so all he has to do is plug it in? I’d need to mix it up on Friday and he’d cook it Saturday. Will this be ok?
I think that would be fine.
Is there anything I could replace the cream of chicken with? I don’t have cream of anything. 🙁
Steph,
Just ate my first serving of the Crockpot Chicken and Gravy. Yum! I WILL be making it again! I wonder if it would work as well if I cut the raw chicken into cubes (or nuggets) before dropping them into my crockpot. I only have an old, what I’ll call an “upright” crockpot – is that 3.5 quarts? Today I used chicken tenders, layering the first few facing one direction and the rest layered on top at right angles to the first. They seemed to cook fine (I used five hours on low) but stirring was almost ‘til the chicken was pretty well cooked. If the original pieces were smaller and I could stir in the gravy ingredients, all the flavors would be more evenly distributed. Whaddya think?
Easy and great tasting recipe! I added spinach, celery an carrots to the dish at the end to give it some color and served over rice—-and it was a big hit with my husband and kids. Makes good leftovers and also goes well over egg noodles.
This is a simple hearty recipe. I Love crockpot recipes. Makes life so much easier especially for working moms & grammas.
I Made this Today, So Easy and So So So So Good!!!! My New FAVORITE!!! MY Family LOVED it😋
So glad you enjoyed it!
I would love to make this for dinner tonight, but I only have cream of celery, not chicken. Would that ruin the recipe?
If you like celery, it should be fine.
I have eaten crockpot chicken for 60 years, and 3 generations and I can honestly say this recipe is the best tasting one of them all. Super easy to make, and very simple. This thanksgiving we are going to make this instead of our traditional turkey. I think the recipe is best when you add the cup of chicken broth which they list as optional’ Thank you for posting this. Great job.
What are the green flecks? Parsley?
yes
Would brown gravy work instead of chicken gravy?
Very good and easy to make!
This was definitely an easy meal and it tasted alright for an easy meal. Chicken is tender, which is awesome because my 4yr old will only eat super soft meats!! However, it tastes of artificial chicken flavoring. This isn’t my fave, but I can definitely build on this. Thank you.
Can you freeze this after cooking in crockpot. I should have halved before cooking and now I have a TON of leftovers. Hoping it will save in the freezer???
I’m sure it will be fine if you freeze it
I’m usually not a “packet” type cook , but six months of cooking has opened my mind.
My family loved this so much. I left the slow cooker uncovered for a half hour or so after it was done to thicken it up. I served it with canned biscuits.
Can you cook this on high??
yes
This makes a great pie filling! We had some leftover and I stuck a shop bought puff pastry on top. It was delicious. This is now my preferred way of having it. Thanks for the great recipes!
I wasn’t thinking and threw in two large boneless thawed chicken breasts. Instead of cutting them like in the video.
Will that change the cooking time? Or will the 6 hours be fine?
The video uses whole chicken breasts. You are just fine.
Do you just put the gravy packet powder or do you also add the water that the gravy packet calls for?
just the mix
Hi! So the cream of chicken I got is condensed and you are supposed add a can of water to make it. Would I follow the recipe as is or do I have to add that extra can of water?
do not add water.
Do u follow directions on gravy packet also or just mix it in with the soup and chicken broth. It looks a little thick to me. Not sure if i need to add more liquid.
Only use the dry mix.
This was an awesome chicken and gravy ! I definitely would recommend trying this recipe
What if you are on a time crunch? Can you cook on high instead of low?
yes
Silky question but do you mix the gravy and soup mixes as the directions are packages?
You only use the dry mix and the can of soup as is. Don’t make the gravy or soup.
Maybe silly question, but Could you take canned/bottled chicken gravy and just pour into crockpot for same outcome?
This is probably the easiest meal I’ve ever made, which is saying a lot. My father really enjoyed it!! My son wanted it with baked potatoes which I made in a separate Crock-Pot. He and I weren’t as impressed as my elderly father. It had a sweet flavor which is somewhat off putting. I used Campbell’s cream of chicken and Walmart brand chicken gravy mix. I’ll definitely give this recipe a go again with cream of mushroom and probably McCormick chicken gravy mix and season the chicken with Badia Complete Seasoning as that usually goes extremely well with anything chicken. My guess is that the sweetness came from Walmart chicken gravy mix because they’re constantly changing everything that they offer that’s remotely good.
I think rice would have been much better than with baked potatoes, so I’ll do that next time as well.
Thanks Much & I’ll be back for more easy recipes!! Especially soft meals because my 83yro dad has no teeth and has a difficult time eating most things. I’m still learning what to cook so he’ll be able to easily chew and enjoy a variety of foods.
If you can offer any suggestions I’d be extremely appreciative!!
I used McCormick Gravy mix and the chicken wasn’t the slightest bit sweet. That is very odd.
Can I use gravy that comes in a jar?
What a great idea! But unfortunately, without further recipe testing, I cannot answer with certainty. As always, please use your best judgment regarding substitutions and modifications.
Can you use something to make chicken gravy if you don’t have the packets? Trying to avoid the store.
I don’t know. I’ve only made this as written. Since you are only using the dry mix and not actually making the gravy, I’m unsure of how to pull that off without further recipe testing. As always, please use your best judgment regarding substitutions and modifications.
Dumb question but do I make the gravy packets like you normally do? Add the one cup for each packet and than add it to the soup? Or do I add dry packets of gravy and not add any water unless I want to add the half water or broth?
I only used the dry mix.
Can I make this without using chicken gravy?
I would like to make this, but I have no gravy mix. What would be a good substitute?
How would I cook this on the stove instead of the crockpot ?
Hello the chicken breasts I have are pretty big so would you use 3 or 4? I just don't want to have too much chicken and not enough gravy! Thank you!
Sounds like you should use 3 since you say they are really big. You can’t go wrong with either amount. So it would just be a personal preference.
I don't have the packets of gravy all I have is can chicken gravy I would I use that instead
I've only made this with the packets of gravy. You can certainly try it with the canned gravy. I'm sure it will still taste fine.
Or try it in an instant pot. Plus I shred with a hand mixer.
This looks amazing! Just wondering if I could use boneless skinless chicken thighs instead?
I'm sure that would be just fine
Making this tomorrow! I have 3 frozen chicken breast, so going to use 2 cans of soup and 2 packets of gravy and add in frozen veggies right away in the beginning. Do you think that the veggies will get too mushy in a crock pot for 8-ish hours? I could cook separately and add in later, but so much easier to do in the beginning.
How would you double the recipe? I know that sounds like a dumb question but would you just double everything exact??? Thanks for any feedback 🙂
Yes – I would double all the ingredients
Do you have to use the chicken gravy?
I am making this in a few minutes but need to know do I use the can of cream of chicken soup plus a can of water?
just the can of soup – enjoy!
This is absolutely wonderful. I was concerned about the gravy being too salty but it wasn't at all that way. I didn't break up the chicken into smaller pieces. just kept the pieces whole. Served the gravy over mashed potatoes. So easy and so tasty. This is a winner!
so glad you liked it!
I really want mushrooms… thinking of using 4 chicken breasts, a can of cream of chicken, a can of cream of mushroom and 2 gravy chicken packets?
Sounds good to me!
This was so good! I doubled the recipe and added some frozen mixed veggies. Served over homemade biscuits…we loved it!
Janet – love your changes!
I make a similar recipe , one packet of onion soup, I can of mushroom soup , milk or water, chicken breast and crockpot till it shreds and we serve it over creamy mashed potatoes :} definatly gonna try this one :}
Becca – I think peas and carrots sound great. Enjoy!
I'd love to make this an all in one meal. I plan on making it today for some friends who have a baby who recently got hearing aides. They've been busy trying to help her adjust so the easier, the better. I wanted to add some vegetables, but what would you suggest? I was thinking carrots and peas at least..
Priscilla – you can plug the ingredients into this website:
http://caloriecount.about.com/cc/recipe_analysis.php
I am trying to be mindful of my calorie intake. Would anyone know how many calories are in a serving?
Haley – I think it would taste just fine with either Cream of Chicken or Mushroom. Enjoy!
This looks delicious! I have one problem: I don't have chicken gravy mix! I only have mushroom gravy mix. How would that taste with Cream of Chicken OR Cream of Mushroom?
Thanks,
Haley
Paige – I think it would be great with mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
Making this tonight, and was wondering if it tastes good with mashed potatoes?
CheJohnson – absolutely. Cook it on high for 2-3 hours. Enjoy!
Could you cook it on high to cut the time a little.
I used my instant pot and shredded with a hand mixer. My chicken was frozen but it was done in 30 minutes. I cooked and shredded the chicken then added the other ingredients to let them warm.
Awesome, thanks so much! I figured that was correct, glad to hear I didn't mess it up 🙂
Jess – just leave it thick – undiluted
Enjoy!
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 🙂
What size can of cream of chicken soup?
Making this tonight! I've made several of your recipes and all were hits!
I'm also a new follower!
Blessings,
Sarah 🙂
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!
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?
Just dump the packet it with the chicken and soup
well i may have put in too much water lol
I made this recipe for dinner last night and it was soooo good. We gobbled it right up. Thank you!!
Hi do u guys cut the fat off of the chicken breasts?
My experience is it just kind of dissolves but it wouldn’t hurt anything if you wanted to cut it off.
If using, when do you add the frozen vegetables?
It just depends on how soft you want the veggies. The longer you cook them, the softer they will be.
With a knife
No! Leave it on you cant tell if anything it adds flavor
Simple, easy and delicious. This was a big hit with my fiancé and he is a picky eater! I use one pack of HEB gravy and one pack of pioneer chickens and herbs gravy and cook for 6 hrs for maximum tenderness. Omg yum!!!
Made this the other day, used healthy request soup and one regular and one reduced sodium gravy packet. I thought it was so-so right out of the crockpot but the leftovers were *amazing* a day and a half later. If you have time, make it ahead, especially if making it with less salt. Recipe will definitely be in my regular rotation! I was totally happy eating the chicken and gravy with just broccoli on the side, without rice or potatoes. Leftover chicken, if you’re lucky enough to have some, would definitely be great for chicken salad if you rinse off the gravy.
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!!
Yes, I would double it for 6-8 people. Simple food is often the best food!
This recipe is simple to follow and absolutely delicious. I make mashed potatoes and veggies on the side and even the kids can’t get enough. Kid approved. Mom approved!
Me too grandkids love it with mashed potatoes and string beans on side. Mima approved kids approved. 👍🏻
Question can I use cream of mushroom instead of cream of chicken?
yes – any condensed cream soup will work just fine.
Can this be cooked in oven?
I’ve never made this in the oven, so I can not say how it turns out. I am sure you could, but I do not have a time or temperature for you.
If you double the recipe including the amount of chicken would you still cook it on low for 4 to 6 hours?
I would think so.
Yes, anytime I cook chicken in the crockpot (Which is a lot!) I cook the chicken the same amount of time, does not matter the amount of chicken I am cooking. The only time that it would matter obviously is if the chicken didn’t all fit in the crockpot comfortably…..
hey just wondering if i dont have rice could I do mash potatoes instead
Sure!
Can you use onions in the mix too?
sure – you can add whatever you want.
Can I add in frozen vegetables!?
Keep in mind there is moisture that will come out of frozen veggies. May thin gravy. I personally would cook first then drain liquid before adding.
Yum! I do something similar with Turkey. Thank you for making me drool!
Stupid question…I want to make this but I don’t have gravy mix. Only have a jar of turkey gravy. You think I could substitute? Or wait and go to store.
I’ve only made this with the dry packet of mix. I can not say how it works with liquid gravy. You can certainly give it a try, but it won’t be like the recipe in the photos.
Did u use the jar gray I was wondering how it turned out?
Hi. I used the jar chicken gravy , that is what I had on hand. It turned out good. Thanks for the recipe. I’m going to try the dry next time. I figured I would comment. Just because. Thanks again for the recipe.
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.
So I am in the process of cooking this. I only had 1 pack of chick gravy on hand so I substituted a Turk gravy pack. I Plan on adding frozen pees & carrots at the end then serving over white rice. I’m anticipating good results! lol Thank you for the share! I will update 😉
I made this and served with garlic mashed potatoes. Just delicious!!! Thank you.
I followed the recipe to a T the first time. Although it was good, I felt it needed a little more flavor. The next time I tried this with one packet of chicken gravy and one packet of Turkey gravy. I also added about a half a packet of dry ranch dip, a little tarragon, uncle Chris’s seasoning and a can of veggies. Then served over orzo pasta! Delish!
Thanks.
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.
Just setting things up so any answer gets emailed to me. Sorry for the double comment.
I used pack of Turkey gravy mix, and a dry pack of onion soup mix. I’ll let you know how it turns out. It’s all I had on hand.
I used Turkey gravy mix too. How did yours turn out mine is cooking still
It will be just fine
My husband has done onion soup mix. It’s just a different taste. Without the onion mix it just makes it more mild. Just depends on the taste you like and I believe the onion mix tenderize the chicken more.
How did it turn out using onion soup mix?
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.
muststartover – you could use frozen chicken. Just cook it a little longer – 7-8 hours. Perfect for a work day.
Can you use frozen chicken or should it be thawed?
Sounds, simple and quite good!
This looks so good! And I am always looking for crock pot recipes – 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.
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! 🙂
I love crockpot meals too and need to use it more. This looks great Stephanie.
