Step 4: Pour and Cover
Pour the gravy mixture directly over the chicken, making sure every piece is well coated. Add small pieces of butter on top if using. Cover the slow cooker with the lid.
Step 5: Slow Cook to Perfection
- Cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or
- Cook on HIGH for 3–4 hours
The chicken will become incredibly tender, soaking up the gravy while releasing its own juices to enhance the flavor.
Step 6: Shred or Serve Whole
Once cooked, you can leave the chicken whole or shred it directly in the slow cooker using two forks. Stir gently to combine the shredded chicken with the gravy for an ultra-creamy texture.
Step 7: Taste and Adjust
Give the gravy a final taste. Add salt or pepper if needed. If you want a thicker gravy, leave the lid off for 15–20 minutes on HIGH, stirring occasionally.
