4-Ingredient Slow Cooker Chicken and Gravy – The Easy Comfort Dinner You’ll Make Again and Again - Page 2

Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker or use a slow-cooker liner for easier cleanup.

Place the chicken in an even layer at the bottom.

In a medium bowl, combine the condensed cream of chicken soup, chicken gravy mix, and chicken broth.

Whisk until everything is well combined.

Don’t worry if the mixture isn’t completely smooth. It will come together as it slowly cooks.

Pour the gravy mixture evenly over the chicken.

Make sure most of the chicken is covered so it can absorb the flavors while cooking.

Cover the slow cooker.

Cook on LOW for approximately 5–6 hours or HIGH for approximately 3–4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

Chicken should reach a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) at its thickest point.

Cooking times can vary depending on the size of the chicken pieces and your slow cooker.

Once cooked, remove the chicken and shred it using two forks.

You can also leave the chicken breasts or thighs whole if you prefer larger portions.

Return shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir it into the gravy.

Let everything sit for another 5–10 minutes so the chicken can soak up even more flavor.

What Makes This Recipe So Comforting?

The secret is slow cooking.

Cooking chicken gently for several hours allows it to become tender while absorbing the savory gravy surrounding it.

Instead of preparing chicken and gravy separately, everything cooks together in one pot.

The result is a creamy, savory dish that tastes especially good spooned over fluffy mashed potatoes.

Both work well.

Chicken breasts have a mild flavor and are easy to shred once cooked.

Chicken thighs naturally contain more fat, which can help them remain juicy during longer cooking times.

If you're worried about the chicken becoming dry, boneless chicken thighs are an excellent alternative.
