Crock Pot Chicken and Gravy is a simple, comforting, and hands-off dish where tender chicken is cooked slowly in a rich, savory gravy. It’s perfect over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
Ingredients (for 4–6 servings)
- 4–6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 1 can (10–11 oz / 280–310 g) cream of chicken soup (or homemade alternative)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried thyme or rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2–3 tbsp cornstarch or flour (optional, for thickening)
- Optional: chopped vegetables (carrots, peas, or mushrooms)
Instructions

- Place chicken in the crock pot
- Add onion, garlic, and optional vegetables
- Make the gravy:
- Mix cream of chicken soup with chicken broth, thyme, salt, and pepper
- Pour over the chicken
- Cook:
- Low: 6–7 hours
- High: 3–4 hours
- Chicken should be tender and easy to shred or slice
- Thicken the gravy (optional):

- Cook on high 10–15 minutes until the gravy thickens
- Serve:

Crock Pot Chicken and Gravy is hearty, easy, and perfect for cozy dinners.
If you want, I can also give a version with a homemade creamy gravy and fresh herbs for even richer flavor.
