Description
This Slow Cooker Chicken and Gravy is creamy, rich, and full of savory flavor.
The chicken becomes incredibly tender as it slowly cooks, soaking up the flavorful gravy.
Served over mashed potatoes, rice, or biscuits, it’s a satisfying meal that feels like
a warm hug on a plate.
Tips
- Chicken thighs add extra juiciness and flavor, but chicken breasts work well too.
- For thicker gravy, remove the lid during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
- Add mushrooms or onions for extra depth of flavor.
- Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, egg noodles, or buttered biscuits.
Correction
-
If the gravy is too thick, stir in a little warm broth or water until the desired
consistency is reached. -
If the gravy is too thin, mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water,
stir it in, and cook for an additional 15–20 minutes. - Avoid overcooking on HIGH, as chicken breasts may become dry.
