Description

How to make tender crockpot chicken and creamy gravy with simple ingredients that’s perfect for a comforting family dinner on busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Main Components:
  • 2–3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can Cream of Chicken Soup (100% cream of chicken, not mushroom)
  • 1 cup low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 4 ounces full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • Flavor Builders & Thickeners:
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Seasonings:
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep Ingredients: Dice the yellow onion and set aside. Season your boneless, skinless chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper. This initial seasoning is key for deep flavor in your Crockpot Chicken And Gravy. A little prep makes a big difference.
  2. Combine Components: Place the seasoned chicken and diced onion into your crockpot. Pour in the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and dried thyme. Ensure everything is in the pot, ready for a good stir.
  3. Stir & Cook: Stir all ingredients gently in the crockpot until well combined, ensuring the chicken is submerged. Cover and cook your Crockpot Chicken And Gravy on low for 6-8 hours, or high for 3-4 hours, until chicken is tender. Avoid lifting the lid often!
  4. Shred Chicken: Once cooked, carefully remove the tender chicken from the crockpot and shred it using two forks. It should fall apart effortlessly, indicating perfect tenderness. Set the shredded chicken aside while you prepare the rich gravy.
  5. Make Gravy: To the crockpot liquid, whisk in the softened cream cheese, cornstarch, and butter until smooth. Cook on high for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens beautifully. This creates the creamy base for your Crockpot Chicken And Gravy.
  6. Assemble & Serve: Return the shredded chicken to the thickened gravy in the crockpot and stir to coat. Let it warm through for 5 minutes. Serve your delicious Comforting Crockpot Chicken And Gravy hot over mashed potatoes or rice. Enjoy those comforting memories!

Notes

Avoid frequently lifting the crockpot lid; it extends cooking time significantly and can affect tenderness.

Store leftover Crockpot Chicken And Gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.

Cream of mushroom or celery soup can substitute cream of chicken, but expect a different flavor profile.

Serve this comforting dish hot over creamy mashed potatoes or fluffy rice, garnished with fresh parsley.

Toast dried thyme and garlic powder briefly in a dry pan before adding for intensely deep, awakened aromatics.
