Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for Creamy Crockpot Chicken and Gravy:
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup (or use a homemade version if preferred)
- 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix
- 1 packet (1 oz) chicken gravy mix (or use homemade)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup sour cream (optional for extra creaminess)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Crockpot:
- Spray the bottom of your crockpot with cooking spray or line it with a slow cooker liner for easy cleanup.
- Add the Chicken:
- Place the chicken breasts (or thighs) in the bottom of the crockpot.
- Make the Gravy Mixture:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, ranch seasoning mix, chicken gravy mix, and chicken broth. Stir everything together until well combined.
- Pour Over Chicken:
- Pour the gravy mixture over the chicken in the crockpot. Stir gently to coat the chicken in the sauce.
