Dinner Idea - Crockpot Chicken and Gravy

Here is a healthy and EASY crockpot meal for you and your family.  Throw all the ingredients in a crockpot in the morning and let it to its cooking thing all day.  Come home to a magically delicious, healthy meal!

Here is the short list of ingredients that you need:
  • 1-2 pounds chicken (I used boneless thighs, but breasts would work well too)
  • 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 2 packets of chicken gravy mix
  • 2 cups water
  • salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (optional)
  • rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes to serve
 Directions:


Throw soup, water, and gravy packets in your crockpot.


Mix it up well.

Throw in your chicken.  It is best to defrost your chicken before this step but clearly I did not have time for such details.  I added an hour or so to the cooking time to compensate. 

Cook on low in your crockpot for 6-8 hours.  Break up chicken with a fork and if you choose to, and I do think it is in your best interest to do so, add in the sour cream and stir.  I also added some frozen peas, mainly because I knew my kids were more likely to accidentally swallow some random peas than eating steamed  asparagus.  That worked too.  

Season with salt and pepper and garlic powder at this point.  I didn't add much of any of that to be honest, just a little bit of pepper.  The gravy packets were plenty flavorful enough for us.


Then plate it up!  We had ours with asparagus and some mashed potatoes.  Yummy and easy!
