Introduction

This Crockpot Chicken and Gravy recipe is a simple, comforting dish perfect for busy days. Tender chicken breasts cook low and slow in a savory mushroom and onion gravy, delivering rich flavors with minimal effort.

A white plate holds a dish with three layers: the bottom layer is a pile of creamy, white mashed potatoes with a smooth but slightly chunky texture, topped by a thick, brown gravy with visible shredded pieces of tender meat mixed throughout, giving it a rich, saucy appearance sprinkled with small green herbs. To the side, there is a bright yellow layer of cooked corn kernels, neatly piled and lightly seasoned with black pepper, all set on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 (10-ounce) can cream of mushroom soup

1 cup beef broth
1 packet brown gravy mix

1 packet beef onion soup mix
1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder
Black pepper to taste
1 bell pepper, sliced

1 cup yellow onion, sliced

Instructions

Step 1: In the crockpot, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, brown gravy mix, and beef onion soup mix until smooth. Add the chicken breasts to the mixture, then top with sliced onions and bell peppers.
Step 2: Cook on low for 4–6 hours or on high for 2–3 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through. Remove the chicken and shred it with two forks, then return it to the crockpot and stir it into the gravy. Serve warm over mashed potatoes or rice for a comforting meal.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, brown the chicken breasts in a skillet before adding them to the crockpot.
Add mushrooms or carrots along with the onions and bell peppers for more vegetables.
Use chicken broth instead of beef broth for a lighter gravy flavor.

If you prefer thicker gravy, stir in a slurry of cornstarch and water during the last 30 minutes of cooking.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave until warmed through, stirring occasionally to maintain the gravy’s consistency.
