Crockpot Chicken and Gravy is the best comfort food. Tons of tender chicken and gravy make an amazing dinner while being so easy to prepare.
Slow Cooker chicken and gravy is the perfect meal to make for a delicious meal. It only requires a few ingredients and the results a creamy, full of flavor chicken recipe.
I made this and I added a bag of frozen mixed vegetables, I did not shred the chicken, served the gravy and vegetables over mashed potatoes. Made a can of Pillsbury flaky biscuits to go with it. This is my husband new favorite meal.

Recipe Notes
- Chicken – This recipe works great with skinless chicken breasts but you can also use chicken thighs.
- Seasoning – Feel free to change the seasoning to what you prefer. We usually start with about ¼ teaspoon and add more to taste. Here are some of our favorite additions – garlic powder, thyme, rosemary or oregano.
- Veggies – This is a great slow cooker recipe to add in vegetables to cook with the chicken and gravy. Add in peas, carrots or potatoes. Make sure to cut about the same size so they cook evenly.
- Chicken – You can put your chicken in the slow cooker frozen or thaw.
- Cooking time – Cooking time will vary based on your slow cooker and the size of your chicken.
- Shredding Chicken – Once the chicken is cooked it is ready to be shredded. You can shred with two forks or learn how to shred with a mixer.

Very easy and delicious meal. Thank you!
Roger – That’s great to hear! Thanks so much.
Easy to make and delicious.
Thank you so much!
This was delicious and easy. Made it a couple of nights ago and was told to keep it in rotation
Heidi – That’s great. So glad it’s on the regular rotation now.
Could you cook potatoes and carrots in the crockpot with the chicken?
Yes, you can! Cut the potatoes and carrots into similar-sized pieces and place them beneath or around the chicken so they cook evenly. Make sure they are fork-tender before serving.
I just made this for my husband and he loved it!! I’m vegetarian, so I just cook it! This has a lot of potential to use in other recipes like chicken pot pie or chicken spaghetti. Since he has to eat low sodium, I used Campbells unsalted Cream of Chicken , a low sodium gravy mix, and a packet of Herb Ox chicken bouillon and water. A little flour at the end to thicken. Super easy! Thanks so much!!
I have not tried this particular recipe…. can’t go wrong with chicken and gravy! I have tried many of your recipes and they always come out so good!
I have not made this…..yet. Looks like my idea of comfort food and easy at that. Thanks for all your great recipes.

I love how versatile chicken is. We usually go for thighs because they are cheaper and you get more meat off them. Eating on dime has literally changed my life. Recipes like these make it actually enjoyable to cook.
I love the ease of using my crockpot. Looking forward to making some of these recipes!
Brandi – We love the slow cooker too! I’m so happy you plan to try it.

Just finished eating and oh so good. Will put this oin our monthly rotation.
Looks so good! Another easy recipe I’ve gotta try!
Thanks so much!
What can I substitute for the gravy mix? Trying to cut out MSG and control the sodium.
You can use a low-sodium, MSG-free gravy mix or make a homemade gravy mix with cornstarch and seasonings. Using low-sodium cream of chicken soup will help reduce the sodium as well.
It’s so easy and tasty!! We, a family of 5, love this recipe.
This looks great but will try to make my own “cream of” soup!
I haven’t made this yet, but it looks really great! Simple too, with only a few ingredients. I like thighs so will probably use them instead of breasts. It’s just me, so I appreciate being able to reduce servings in the printer page.
This sounds right up my alley, ty
You’re welcome! Hope you enjoy!
Great diet for the week me can milky. Simple and easy to prep and cook. Yummy.

This one looks like a keeper. I love mashed potatoes and gravy! A few substitutions for gluten free and I’m all in?
Marti – Yes! Such a comfort meal!
We liked this recipe. The gravy could have been a little thicker. Will make again.
I just put this in the slow cooker. I have it set for six hours on low. I am confused by the recipe. In the written directions at the beginning, it says 6-8 hours on low or 3-4 hours on high. At the bottom it says 8 hours on low. What is the actual cooking time? Thanks.
The correct time is 6-8 hours on low or 3-4 on high until the chicken is tender and shreds easily. I hope you love this recipe!
Looking forward to making this
Hope you love it!
I made this recipe today and this was amazing. Will definitely make this again!!! Usually I am so disapointed with anything I make in my crockpost but this was delicious!!!
Lana – Wahoo! That’s great to hear. So glad you loved it.
Easy and full of flavor. I’ll be making this again!
Betsy – Thank you so much! I’m so happy you enjoyed it.
What if we don’t have gravy mix
Looking forward to tryin this recipe. Sounds delicious. Thanks
My family loved this recipe but we found it to be salty so we now use low sodium gravy and soup and it has totally cured that we put it over stuffing and add whatever veggies we are in the mood for
An absolute family favorite! It is so easy and quick to prepare! So tasty and a true comfort food.
I made this and I added a bag of frozen mixed vegetables, I did not shred the chicken, served the gravy and vegetables over mashed potatoes. Made a can of Pillsbury flaky biscuits to go with it. This is my husband new favorite meal.
This recipe was very good!
Delicious!! Family favorite!!!!
Delicious!! The whole family loved it! So easy to throw together!!
We made this recipe and loved it. We added a bag of frozen mixed vegetables to it. Turned out great.
One of our family favorite slow cooker recipes. So simple too. Give it a try
This recipe is extremely good. My whole family loved it. I also shared it with friends an family they also love it.
in the description of this chicken and gravy it mentions brown gravy, but i do not see it in ingredients list , why is that?
We used a chicken gravy mix in this recipe. It creates the gravy for the chicken in this recipe.
Great every time. Family frequently asks for this one!
Every time I add cream soups to my crock pot to cook all day even on the low setting they break down. Is there any solution that I can do to keep this happening and stay creamy??
Very good. Didnt shred but cut tender chick into chunks. Very tender. Could have added one more chick breast since 1.5 lbs was only 2 large ones. One more would have worked.
Does the chicken have to be fresh, or can it be put in crock pot frozen?
I use frozen chicken breasts all the time, either would work!
If adding FROZEN PEAS AND CARROTS, at what point do I add them? If instead of that, adding FRESHLY CUT carrots (and no peas), what point should I add them?
