This Slow Cooker Chicken and Gravy recipe is a comforting and easy meal perfect for busy days. Tender boneless chicken breasts are slow-cooked in a flavorful mixture of ranch seasoning, brown gravy, cream of chicken soup, and aromatic spices, resulting in a creamy and savory dish that pairs wonderfully with rice, mashed potatoes, or noodles.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Seasonings and Mixes

  • 1 packet (1 oz) ranch dressing mix
  • 1 packet (1 oz) brown gravy mix
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Liquids

  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup cream of chicken soup

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker, ensuring they are spread out evenly for uniform cooking.
  2. Add Seasonings: Sprinkle the ranch dressing mix and brown gravy mix evenly over the chicken breasts to coat them well with flavor.
  3. Mix Liquids and Spices: In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Combine and Cook: Pour the liquid mixture over the seasoned chicken in the slow cooker. Cover the cooker with the lid.
  5. Slow Cook: Set the slow cooker to low heat and cook for 6 hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and tender enough to shred easily.
  6. Shred the Chicken: Using two forks, shred the chicken directly within the slow cooker, then stir it thoroughly to blend the shredded meat with the creamy gravy sauce.
  7. Serve: Serve the savory chicken and gravy over your choice of rice, mashed potatoes, or noodles for a hearty, comforting meal.

Notes

  • For a thicker gravy, remove the lid during the last 30 minutes of cooking or stir in a slurry of cornstarch and water.
  • You can substitute cream of mushroom soup if preferred.
  • Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste and dietary needs.
  • Use gluten-free ranch and gravy mixes to make this recipe gluten-free.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
