Crockpot Chicken and Gravy
Skip the canned soup - this easy Crockpot Chicken and Gravy recipe is made from scratch! It’s easy, flavorful, and the gravy thickens into a rich sauce that’s perfect over mashed potatoes or rice.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, or thighs
- 2 (.87 oz) packets low-sodium chicken gravy
- ¼ cup dry whole milk powder
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 ½ tablespoons instant chicken bouillon granules, or Better than Bouillon for richer flavor
- ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper, I like to add more to taste when serving
- ¼ teaspoon dried basil
- ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 cups water

Instructions
- Lightly coat the inside of a 6+ quart crockpot insert with non-stick spray. Place the chicken breasts in the crockpot.
- In a medium sized bowl, whisk to combine the dry ingredients: chicken gravy packets, dry whole milk powder, cornstarch, chicken bouillon granules, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, basil and thyme.
- Slowly pour in the water, while stirring the whole time, until a paste forms. Then continue stirring while you slowly whisk in the rest of the water. This will keep lumps from forming and make a smooth gravy!
- Pour mixture over the chicken. Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and easily shredded.
- Shred chicken with two forks, leaving it in larger pieces or smaller pieces depending on your preference. Serve over rice, mashed potatoes, or egg noodles. My kids also love it with ritz crackers!

Notes
Storing Leftovers: After cooking, let the chicken cool, then transfer to an airtight container. It will keep for up to 4 days in the fridge.
Reheating Leftovers: Microwave in short bursts, or heat in a skillet over medium-low heat, stirring often. If the gravy thickened too much, add a splash of broth or water to thin it out.
