    Slow Cooker Chicken and Gravy

    Slow cooker chicken and gravy reminds me of Thanksgiving dinner. This dish is one that doesn’t take hours and hours of prepping and cooking to make. The prep time is less than 5 minutes and the slow cooker does the rest of the work. Imagine shredded chicken smothered in gravy served over your choice of mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice. Doesn’t all-white-meat taste like chicken anyway? Yes, and you can make this wonderful meal whenever you want. Soon instead of turkey for Thanksgiving dinner, chicken will become a thing. You just wait and see. Just kidding. 

    The chicken can be served over egg noodles, rice, mashed potatoes, or cauliflower mash for those that are following a low carb diet. I’m what you call a lazy cook in my kitchen and I just heated up some instant mashed potatoes on the stovetop along with some canned microwaved green beans.  Canned green beans are my favorite and I prefer them over fresh green beans. Crack some freshly ground black pepper over the chicken if you like for some more taste. 

    Ingredients List 

    •  6 boneless skinless chicken breasts 
    • 2 (.87oz) packages chicken gravy mix 
    • 1 (10 ¾ oz.) 98% reduced-fat cream of chicken soup
    • 2 cups water
    • 1 teaspoon of onion powder
    • 1 teaspoon of garlic powder 
    • fresh ground pepper to taste

    How to Make Slow Cooker Chicken and Gravy 

    1. Add the dry chicken gravy mix, cream of chicken soup, onion powder, garlic powder, and water to the slower cooker pot. Whisk to combine. 
    2. Add the chicken on top of the gravy mix. 
    3. Cook on high for 3 to 4 hrs or on low for 8 hrs. 
    4. Serve with mashed potatoes, egg noodles or rice.

    Tips for Slow Cooker Chicken and Gravy

    • What to serve with chicken and gravy? As I mentioned above you can serve this dish with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice. Some green beans or cranberry sauce can be would be good side dishes. 
    • Add in some sour cream for extra creaminess 
    • For those that don’t like using canned cream of chicken soup or gravy seasoning packets make your own gravy. You can cook the chicken separate in the crockpot until it is done, then add your homemade gravy to it instead. I don’t have anything against these types of prepared food because I don’t eat this every day.
    • Can I make this in my Instant Pot? If you plan on making this in your Instant pot use thawed chicken breasts and set the pressure cooker in manual mode for 15 minutes. Cover pot and set to sealing.

    I am not affiliated with WW formerly known as Weight Watchers in any way. I am just a member who likes to create WW recipes and share them with everyone. Freestyle is the name of the current program of WW and smart points are calculated for the recipes. Some blogs list them as freestyle smart points and some list them as smart points. There is no difference between the 2.. 

    How is this a WW recipe?

    NO FOOD is off limits on WW and WW themselves stresses that a lot on their social media pages. That is one reason why I love WW. You can pretty much eat ANYTHING to lose weight just as long as you stay in your daily points range for that.

    How does Weight Watchers work? 

    Each recipe or food has a Smart Points value. This is calculated using calories, saturated fat, protein, and sugar. It is best to stay away from foods that are loaded with saturated fat and sugar on the plan because those foods are higher in points. When you register with Weight Watchers you are given a daily set of points to target based on your age, gender, height, and activity level. Think of it as an easier way to track your macros.
