Tender chicken breasts soaked in a delicious gravy and served over mashed potatoes and white toast characterize this Crockpot Chicken and Gravy. It is an excellent dinner option anytime of the week.
Crockpot dinners are one of my favourites, especially during the holidays. Because of how busy my day can get, especially during holidays, I barely have the strength to prepare dinner, and so I’m always on the lookout for easy-to-prepare dinners that won’t cause me hassles. Because of this, I find all crockpot recipes especially fascinating since I can throw in all the ingredients into the crockpot before leaving for work and know that I have dinner ready by the time I’m back from work.
This crockpot chicken and gravy is incredibly soft in the mouth, and exquisitely delicious. All it takes is chicken gravy, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth mixed in a crockpot and allowed to cook for a few hours. You can serve hot with steamed rice and some green beans.

Tips and variations:
- You can use chicken thighs or tenderloins in place of chicken breasts if you want.

- Frozen vegetables can be added to the mixture.
