I am a great fan of crock pot cooking on busy days. Especially when the end result is a delicious dish such as this fabulous chicken with creamy gravy!
It does make heavy use of some convenience foods, such as onion and garlic powders . . .
Italian garlic seasoning . . . and yes, cream of chicken soup, plus a bit of boullion powder (I use vegetable) and some chicken gravy powder to finish it off.
And while I am not a huge proponent of using a lot of processed foods as a rule, sometimes they come in quite handy.
This really is delicious and the gravy is lovely and smooth. The chicken is moist and tender. Sometimes there is a danger of overcooking chicken in the slow cooker, but this cooks perfectly.
*Crock Pot Chicken with Creamy Gravy*
Serves 4
Spray a slow cooker insert with cooking spray. Drizzle in the olive
oil. Arrange the chicken breasts in one layer in the slow cooker
Sprinkle evenly with the onion powder, garlic powder and Italian Garlic
Seasoning/salad dressing. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4
hours. Remove the cover. Stir in the boullion powder. Spread the
chicken soup over the chicken breasts. Cover and cook on high for a
further 1 hours cooking time. Remove the chicken pieces with some tongs
to a platter and lightly tend. Whisk together the chicken gravy powder
and 240ml of boiling water (1 cup). Whisk this into the juices in the
slow cooker, to combine well. Pour some of the gravy over the cooked
chicken and serve. Pass the remaining gravy at the table. Mashed
potato and a green veg go very well with this.
Moist, tender and delicious, with not a lot of work involved. You can't beat it! Bon Appetit!

DeleteDid you use 4 breast halves? Not 4 whole breast’s, correct. Thanks
ReplyDeleteDid you use 4 breast halves or 4 while breasts? Thanks
ReplyDeleteSorry if this posted twice!
No problem. I used 4 single serving chicken breast fillets, so I guess you might call them halves. Hope this helps!
