How to Cook Crockpot Chicken and Gravy
If you have 5 minutes to prep this meal, then you are all set! This comes together so easily and you just have to let the slow cooker do all of the work!
Change up the spices: Get creative with different herbs and spices to make your chicken taste special. Try using rosemary, thyme, paprika, garlic powder, or Italian seasoning. Customize the flavors to your liking. Creamy gravy: To make your gravy richer and creamier, add ingredients like cream cheese, sour cream, or heavy cream while cooking. These will give your gravy a smooth texture. Add onions and garlic: Make your chicken and gravy even more flavorful by adding sautéed onions and garlic. Cook them separately until they turn golden and smell delicious, then mix them into the chicken broth and other ingredients. Try some mushrooms: If you’re a fan of mushrooms, try adding sliced mushrooms to the crockpot. They bring a rich, earthy taste that goes well with chicken and gravy. You can cook them in a pan before adding them to the crockpot for extra flavor. Don’t forget about vegetables! You can include carrots, potatoes, bell peppers, green beans in the crockpot. Just adjust the cooking times based on how tender you like your vegetables.
In the Refrigerator: Once your chicken has cooled, separate the chicken from the gravy and store them in separate, airtight containers in the fridge. Put the containers in the fridge within two hours of cooking. The chicken and gravy can stay in the fridge for 3-4 days. In the Freezer: If you have a lot of leftovers or want to store them for longer, you can freeze them. Put the chicken and gravy in freezer-safe containers or bags and label them with the date. They will last about 2-3 months. Thawing and reheating: When you’re ready to eat the leftovers, thaw them in the fridge overnight if they were frozen. Heat the chicken and gravy in a microwave, on the stovetop, or in the oven until they’re warmed through. Stir occasionally to make sure they heat evenly.
