Crockpot Chicken and Gravy
Craving a cozy, no-fuss meal that tastes like Grandma’s cooking? Crockpot Chicken and Gravy delivers juicy chicken smothered in velvety gravy with just 10 minutes of prep! Perfect for busy weeknights or lazy Sundays. Ditch the takeout—your slow cooker’s got this!
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 10.5 oz can cream of chicken soup (or mushroom for a twist!)
- 1 cup chicken broth low-sodium works great
- 1 packet dry onion soup mix the secret flavor bomb!
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika smoked or sweet—your call!
- ½ cup heavy cream optional, for extra richness
- Fresh parsley for garnish because pretty food = happy food
Instructions
- Layer the Chicken: Toss chicken breasts into your crockpot like they’re auditioning for a comfort food show. 🍗
- Mix the Magic: Whisk together soup, broth, onion mix, garlic powder, and paprika. Pour it over the chicken like a savory blanket.
- Cook Low & Slow: Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours or HIGH for 4 hours. Pro tip: Resist peeking—it’s a slow cooker, not a magic show!
- Shred & Stir: Fork-shred the chicken (it’ll fall apart, promise!), then stir in cream for extra luxury.
- Serve & Swoon: Ladle over mashed potatoes, noodles, or toast. Sprinkle parsley like confetti. 🎉
Notes
- No Cream? No Problem! Skip it for a lighter gravy—it’s still delish.
- Thicken It Up: Stir 1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water into the gravy at the end if you like it extra clingy.
- Spice Squad: Add thyme, rosemary, or a dash of cayenne for personality.
- Leftovers? Toss into tacos, pot pies, or eat straight from the fridge at midnight. We won’t judge.
