Crockpot Chicken and Gravy Ingredients
You’ll need:
- 1 (10.75-ounce) can of cream of chicken soup
- 2 (0.87-ounce) packets of chicken gravy mix
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1-1½ cups water (if you prefer thicker gravy, use 1 cup of water, thinner gravy use 1½ cups)
- ½ tablespoon Better than Bouillon Chicken Flavor
- 4 large boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut in half horizontally for easier cooking (about 1 pound)

SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS
CHICKEN GRAVY MIX: You can use 2 tablespoons of powdered chicken and gravy mix in place of the 2 chicken gravy packets in this easy recipe.
BOUILLON: If you prefer, you can just smash up 2 chicken bouillon cubes in a Ziploc bag with the back of a spoon, and use this in place of the Better than Bouillon Chicken Flavor.
POTATOES OR RICE: I recommend serving your chicken and gravy over homemade mashed potatoes. It makes for a hearty and comforting meal. Serving it over a bed of brown rice or white rice is also a great option.
How To Make This Crockpot Chicken and Gravy Recipe
STEP ONE: In a 4-quart crockpot, add one can of cream of chicken soup, 2 envelopes of chicken gravy mix, pepper, garlic powder, water (adding more or less water, based on the thickness you desire), and Better than Bouillon Chicken Flavor (or smashed bouillon cubes).
STEP TWO: Mix all of these ingredients together well.
STEP THREE: Add the 4 cut chicken breasts to the crockpot and cover with a lid. Set the crockpot temperature to low and cook for 4 hours, or until the chicken easily shreds with two forks.

Crockpots cook at varying rates; the cooking time is for the crockpot I used. Make sure that your cooked chicken has an internal temperature of 165°F.

Chicken shreds best when it is still warm; make sure you do this right when it is finished cooking in the slow cooker.
