Introduction

This Crockpot Chicken and Gravy recipe is a comforting and flavorful meal that’s perfect for busy days. Tender chicken breasts slowly cooked in a savory, homemade gravy make for an easy, satisfying dinner with minimal effort.

A white bowl holds a layered dish with two main parts: the bottom layer is white mashed potatoes with a soft, fluffy texture, and the top layer is creamy chicken in a light beige sauce, covered with small green herb pieces and a light sprinkle of black pepper. The bowl is placed on a white marbled surface with some fresh green parsley beside it, an old silver fork above it, and a small white cloth napkin with a blue grid pattern nearby. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1¼ cups evaporated milk
¾ cup chicken broth
1 cube chicken bouillon
¾ teaspoon poultry seasoning
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together evaporated milk, chicken broth, chicken bouillon cube, poultry seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 2: Place the chicken breasts in a 6-quart slow cooker. Pour the prepared liquid mixture over the chicken evenly.
Step 3: Cover and cook on LOW for 5 to 6 hours, or on HIGH for 2 to 3 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked through.
Step 4: Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and set aside. In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water until smooth, then stir this into the slow cooker. Cook on HIGH for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy has thickened.
Step 5: Whisk the butter into the thickened gravy. Taste and season with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Step 6: Shred or slice the cooked chicken and return it to the slow cooker. Stir to coat the chicken in the gravy before serving.

Tips & Variations

Use bone-in chicken thighs instead of breasts for extra juicy and flavorful meat.
Add sliced mushrooms or diced onions at the start of cooking for more depth in the gravy.
Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles to soak up the delicious gravy.
For a thicker gravy, increase cornstarch to 3 tablespoons, mixing with cold water before adding.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the gravy from separating. You can also reheat in the microwave, covered, stirring halfway through.
