This Slow Cooker Chicken and Gravy recipe is a comforting, hearty dish perfect for a stress-free meal. Tender, juicy chicken breasts are cooked low and slow in a creamy chicken gravy made with cream of chicken soup, chicken gravy mix, and broth. The addition of sour cream adds a velvety texture and rich flavor. Serve it over fluffy cooked rice and garnish with fresh parsley for a satisfying family dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thawed if frozen

Gravy

  • 10.25 ounces cream of chicken soup (one standard can)
  • 1.74 ounces chicken gravy mix (two envelopes)
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Serving

  • Cooked rice, for serving
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker, spreading them out evenly to allow for even cooking.
  2. Make the gravy mixture: In a bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, chicken gravy mix, and low-sodium chicken broth. Stir well until the gravy mix is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Cook the chicken: Pour the gravy mixture over the chicken breasts. Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours, or on high for 2 to 3 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  4. Add sour cream and seasoning: About 30 minutes before serving, stir the sour cream into the slow cooker. Taste and season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper as desired. Stir gently to combine and let it warm through.
  5. Serve: Serve the chicken and gravy hot over a bed of cooked rice. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.

Notes

  • For best texture, do not overcook the chicken to avoid dryness.
  • You can substitute the chicken breasts with boneless thighs for a richer flavor.
  • If you prefer a thicker gravy, stir in a slurry of cornstarch and water in the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
