This crockpot chicken and gravy recipe is one of those back-pocket dinners I lean on when the day gets away from me. It uses just a few ingredients, takes almost no effort, and somehow still ends up tasting like real comfort food.
I love recipes like this because I can dump everything into the slow cooker in the morning and come back to dinner already done. It is creamy, cozy, and completely kid-friendly, which makes it a weeknight win in my house.

Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 to 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 can, 10.5 ounces, unsalted cream of chicken soup
- 2 envelopes chicken gravy mix
- ½ cup water or chicken broth, optional
- Salt and black pepper, optional
- Hot steamed rice, for serving
Instructions
Step 1: Add Chicken To Crockpot
Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Step 2: Mix Gravy Sauce
In a bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, dry gravy mix, and water or broth if using. Pour the mixture evenly over the chicken.
Step 3: Slow Cook
Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender. You can also cook on high for 2 to 3 hours if needed.
Step 4: Shred And Serve
Before serving, break the chicken into bite-sized pieces using a spoon or fork. Serve warm over hot steamed rice.
Notes And Tips
- Do not prepare the gravy separately. Use the dry gravy mix straight from the packet.
- Do not add water to the soup itself. Use it directly from the can.
- Unsalted cream of chicken soup helps control the sodium level.
- For a thicker gravy, skip the added water or broth.
- Leftovers store well and taste even better the next day.
Serving Ideas
I usually serve this crockpot chicken and gravy over rice, but it is also great over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or biscuits. Add green beans or steamed broccoli on the side to round out the meal.

FAQs
Yes, but thawed chicken cooks more evenly. If using frozen, make sure the chicken reaches a safe internal temperature before serving.
Use a gluten free cream of chicken soup and gluten free gravy mix.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
