Ingredients

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 packet chicken gravy mix
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)


How to Make Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken & Gravy

Step 1: Prepare the Slow Cooker

Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker. Season them with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder for extra flavor.

Step 2: Mix the Gravy

In a separate mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, chicken gravy mix, and chicken broth. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 3: Pour and Cook

Pour the gravy mixture over the chicken breasts, making sure they are fully coated. Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low heat for 6–7 hours or on high heat for 3–4 hours. The chicken should be fully cooked and tender.

Step 4: Add the Sour Cream

Once the chicken is cooked through, carefully remove the lid and stir in the sour cream until the gravy is smooth and creamy.

Step 5: Shred or Serve Whole

For a thicker texture, shred the chicken with two forks to allow it to absorb more of the creamy gravy, or leave the chicken breasts whole for a more structured presentation.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving for a pop of color and fresh flavor.


Serving Suggestions

This creamy chicken and gravy is versatile and pairs perfectly with a variety of sides:

  • Mashed potatoes: Perfect for soaking up the rich gravy.
  • Rice or egg noodles: These classic options make a hearty base.
  • Biscuits: Serve with warm biscuits to scoop up every drop of gravy.
  • Steamed vegetables: Balance out the richness with sides like green beans, broccoli, or carrots.


Storage Tips

  • Refrigerator: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheating: Gently reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of chicken broth if the gravy has thickened.
