Chicken and Gravy
Chicken and Gravy is my favorite kind of comfort food–buttery, creamy, and doesn’t skimp on flavor. Plus, it’s an easy and fuss-free crockpot recipe!
Servings: 6 people
Equipment
- 6 quart crockpot
- Liquid measuring cup
- measuring cups and spoons
- Forks for shredding chicken
Ingredients
- 6 chicken breasts about 6 ounces each
- ¼ cup salted butter cut into pieces
- 4 cups chicken broth
- ½ cup plus 2 Tablespoons flour
- 1 teaspoon celery salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
OPTIONAL SLURRY:
- ½ cup water
- 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
GARNISHES:
- Parsley
Instructions
- Add the chicken to a large crockpot.
- Place the butter pieces on top of the chicken.
- Whisk the flour into the chicken broth in a medium bowl or large liquid measuring cup.
- Add celery salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika to the chicken broth mixture and whisk to combine.
- Pour the broth mixture over the chicken and cook on HIGH for four hours.
- Remove the chicken and shred the chicken into large pieces.
- If you want a thicker gravy, make a cornstarch slurry while the chicken is removed from the crockpot. Do this by whisking 2 Tablespoons of cornstarch into ½ cup of water. Then, whisk the slurry into the crockpot.
- Return the chicken to the crock pot and sprinkle the chicken and gravy with parsley.
- Serve over mashed potatoes, noodles, or rice.
