Ingredients
You only need a handful of ingredients for this easy slow cooker recipe. You can find them in your grocery store or online.
- Chicken breasts -- boneless skinless chicken breasts or skinless chicken thighs
- Chicken gravy -- a packet of chicken gravy or low sodium chicken gravy

How to Make Crock Pot Chicken and Gravy
First, spray a 6 or 7 quart slow cooker with non stick cooking spray. Then, place chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker.
Season with garlic powder, pepper and parsley.
Next, add the cream of chicken, packet of chicken gravy and chicken broth. Or, in a small bowl combine the gravy mix and soup and pour the gravy mixture over the chicken.
I just find it easier to mix the condensed soup, gravy packet and broth in the crockpot.
Saves you a dish to wash, as well!
Cook Time
Place the lid on the crockpot and cook for 5 to 6 hours on low or 3 to 4 hours on high.
Cooking time may vary with different brands and sizes of slow cookers.
FAQ
You can use brown gravy mix, pork gravy mix or onion soup mix. You can also use a jar of gravy or homemade gravy if you have some.
The easiest way to shred cooked chicken is to use a handheld mixer or stand mixer. You can shred it right in the slow cooker or Instant Pot or place the chicken in a bowl and shred it on low speed.
How to Store and Reheat
Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can freeze chicken and gravy for up to 3 months for best taste.
Reheat shredded chicken and gravy in your microwave or on the stove.

We looked forward to making this recipe today. We found that 1 teaspoon of Garlic Powder was excessive — just way too much ! We had to throw out 2 pounds of chicken and gravy. Was the amount of 1 teaspoon of Garlic Powder mistakenly printed ?
Dee says
No, I have always added 1 teaspoon garlic powder to this recipe, but we love garlic. I can make a note that it is an optional ingredient for those who may not care for as much garlic. Thanks for letting me know.
