    Why this recipe works

    • Just 3 ingredients are needed!
    • Crockpots make chicken recipes like this one so easy.
    • Easy way to get out of your chicken rut.

    What do you need to make 3 ingredient crockpot chicken and gravy?

    I make recipes in the slow cooker at least twice a week such as Crockpot Chicken and Noodles. Between my job and shuttling kids to various activities, I often don't have a lot of time to spend cooking dinner. With my crockpot, I just throw in the ingredients and open it up in a few hours to a yummy meal.

    What makes this Crockpot gravy chicken even more impressive is that the soup and gravy keeps the chicken moist while not overwhelming the chicken with gravy.

    How to make this crockpot dinner

    In a large bowl combine the cream of chicken soup and one envelope of chicken gravy mix. The packet of chicken gravy I used was 1.67 oz. If you are using a smaller size packet, consider using two to get close to that amount.

    Place the boneless skinless chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Pour the mixture over the defrosted or fresh chicken breasts.

    I get my chicken from ButcherBox, which delivers the healthiest, highest quality meat while causing as little harm as they can to the environment.

    Cooked chicken and gravy in the crock pot

    When the chicken is cooked, shred the chicken breasts. I love using these shredding claws as a quick and easy way to shred chicken.

    Frequently asked questions about this recipe

    Can I put frozen chicken in the crockpot?

    I do not like to put frozen meat in a slow cooker since it takes too long for it warm up and therefore it will sit at unsafe temperatures for longer than I am comfortable with.

    I like my chicken with more gravy, what can I do?

    Add ½ cup of water to the soup and gravy mix. Combine and pour over the chicken. This chicken in a crock pot recipe is very versatile.

    What sides can I serve with chicken and gravy?

    Rice makes a great side. You can also serve this over mashed potatoes. This slow cooker chicken chicken is also delicious on a split warm biscuit.
