A creamy, comforting meal for anytime of year!
How to make The Best Slow Cooker Chicken and Gravy
Here’s my latest comfort-food recipes: Crockpot Chicken and Gravy. It’s got shreds of white-meat chicken, seasoned with pepper and garlic powder, swimming in a rich, creamy gravy laced with sour cream. So it’s kind of like beef Stroganoff, only with chicken – which is cheaper and healthier.
To up the comfort factor on this even more, you can serve it over mashed potatoes, rice, noodles or a couple slices of white bread. So the whole meal has a soft, warm, creamy texture that just slips blissfully down your throat.
And the beauty part is, the whole dish takes only about five minutes to put together – so the cook has plenty of time to curl up and get comfortable, too.
How to Make Crockpot Chicken and Gravy
- Pour gravy packets, cream of chicken soup and water into your crockpot. Whisk to combine.
- Season both sides of chicken with garlic power and black pepper and place into crockpot.
- Cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours or on LOW for 6-7 hours.
- Shred chicken with 2 forks and stir in sour cream.
- Serve over mashed potatoes or rice.
QUICK TIPS
Can you make chicken and gravy without the sour cream?
You can leave it out, but the dish won’t be quite as creamy that way.
Can you use any other kind of cream soup instead of cream of chicken?
Cream of mushroom soup would also work well in this dish.
Could you make this in an Instant Pot?
Yes! Put the chicken breasts, gravy mix, and water in the Instant Pot and cook it for 8 minutes at pressure. After releasing the pressure, stir in the cream soup and sour cream, and heat it through. Just as cozy and much faster!

Nancy says
What size crockpot & what size chicken gravy packets?
Corey says
I used the .87 oz packet and a 4-6qt crockpot works just great!
Allison says
Can you use instapot?
Corey says
I have only tested this recipe with the crockpot so far, but am hoping to work on an instant pot recipe soon 😉
Jean says
When I was growing up in Pa,home to many Pa. Dutch, this type of creamed chicken was served on waffles. Sometimes it also had peas and carrots added to it. Just Delicious and easy.
Corey says
Oh I love the idea of waffles!!
Alexandra Licata says
What if I am cooking with chicken tenderloins instead???
Corey says
You might need to reduce the time a bit. I have never used tenderloins, so I can’t say for sure.
cheryle says
Do you really mean use a 110.5 oz cream of chicken soup? Or a 10.5 oz can which is what I ‘m using.
Corey says
There should be a slash in there…. 1 (10.5 oz) can. I will get that fixed up now!
Marsha Kraft says
What can I use instead of cream cheese? It doesn’t like my stomach. 🙂
Corey says
Sorry Marsha, I have only tested this recipe as written.
jane says
? I don’t see cream cheese in the recipe ?
Sharon says
Can you use heavy cream in this recipe?
S w says
Oh my word I thought we were the only ones who did that. Grew up on chicken gravy over waffles. People find that very odd, I find fried chicken and waffles with syrup odd 😂
Sandra Yanez says

What can I substitute for the gravy packet. Need for recipe to be gluten-free. Thanks.
Corey says
Are there gluten-free gravy packets? I have only made this recipe as written, so I can’t say for sure.
