Tasty 3-Ingredient Slow-cooker Chicken & Gravy Recipe Is the Real Deal Slow Cooker Poultry Dinner Budget-friendly

I can’t believe how easy this chicken and gravy recipe is, especially considering that it seems like a meal that took a lot of time and effort. It takes only three ingredients and four steps! Plus it is a slow-cooker recipe, which is always nice in my book! This slow-cooker recipe is the perfect meal for a busy weeknight. Bonus: It’s something the whole family will enjoy, kids included.

The slow-cooker chicken and gravy is made with boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cream or mushroom soup, chicken gravy mixes, and water or chicken broth. The ingredients cook in the slow cooker on low for about four to six hours. Shred the chicken and put it back into the gravy right before serving. So delicious!

If you want to add even more flavor, add a chopped onion or bell pepper. To reduce the sodium, buy low-sodium gravy mixes and the healthy version of cream of chicken soup. Serve this comforting meal over hot steamed rice with the vegetable of your choice.

Love this recipe. For a little added flavor I add a bay leaf and a couple of whole allspice.
