Looking for an easy, comforting meal that requires minimal effort? This Slow Cooker Chicken and Gravy recipe is perfect for busy days or when you’re craving a hearty, home-cooked dish. Tender shredded chicken in a savory gravy, served over mashed potatoes or with biscuits, is a classic meal that will warm you from the inside out.
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cans Campbell’s Cream of Chicken Soup
2 packets of chicken gravy mix
4 cups water (or chicken broth for extra flavor)
1 box Idahoan Butter Mashed Potatoes (or homemade mashed potatoes)
Salt and pepper to taste
Biscuits for serving (optional)
Instructions:
Prepare the Slow Cooker:
Place the chicken breasts into the bottom of the slow cooker. Pour the two cans of cream of chicken soup over the chicken, followed by the chicken gravy mix and water (or chicken broth). Stir everything gently to combine.
Cook the Chicken:
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4-6 hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender. Once done, shred the chicken using two forks. Stir the shredded chicken back into the gravy for a flavorful and smooth consistency.
Prepare the Mashed Potatoes:
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the mashed potatoes according to the instructions on the box or your preferred recipe.
Serve:
Serve the shredded chicken and gravy over a bed of mashed potatoes, with warm biscuits on the side if desired.
Serving Suggestions: This dish is perfect for a family dinner, and the savory chicken and gravy pair wonderfully with mashed potatoes. For an extra touch, serve it with homemade or store-bought biscuits for the ultimate comfort meal.
Tips:
For a richer flavor, use chicken broth instead of water.
You can substitute the mashed potatoes with rice or noodles if preferred.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated for a quick meal.
