Step 2: Add the Chicken
Place the chicken pieces directly into the crock pot. Make sure they are evenly spaced for even cooking.
Step 3: Mix the Soup and Onion Soup Mix
In a separate bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup and the dry onion soup mix. Stir until fully blended. If you like slightly thinner gravy, add 1/2 cup of chicken broth to the mixture.
Step 4: Pour Over the Chicken
Pour the soup mixture evenly over the chicken, ensuring each piece is coated. This helps the flavors seep into the meat while it cooks.
Step 5: Cook Low and Slow
Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours. The chicken should be tender and easily shred with a fork.
Step 6: Optional – Thicken the Gravy
If your gravy is too thin after cooking, you can mix 1–2 tablespoons of cornstarch with cold water and stir it into the crock pot. Turn the heat to high and cook for an additional 15–20 minutes until thickened.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
Serve your Crock Pot Chicken and Gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a touch of color.
