Creamy chicken and gravy in the slow cooker is like making a plate of diner comfort food at home. It is so easy to make and will give you that warm cozy feeling we all love.
Come home to a creamy comforting dinner. This chicken and gravy cooks in the slow cooker while you do whatever you want.
Walking into the house and having it smell delicious is always a great feeling. Just a few quick steps and dinner is ready!
Pile it on buns for sandwiches, or serve it on rice, pasta or mashed potatoes. It’s good on any of them!
I really try to vary what we eat for our weekly family dinner. With the weather warming up a bit I thought I would make one last slow cooker recipe that is 100% comfort food before we get the grill out.
The chicken and gravy is really good. It is simple, but it is one of our favorite dinner when we just need something cozy.

MiMi made this for the blog back in 2015. It was a hit with the family then and has been made quite a few times since then.
Our favorite way to have it is over mashed potatoes. MiMi sometimes serves it over buttery biscuits and it is really good that way too.
We have served it on buns as a sandwich and on a slice of white bread as an opened faced sandwich like you would get at a diner.
We like this recipe so much that we made it to serve on buns for my cousin’s bun in the oven baby shower. It is definitely a simple recipe to make and a great recipe for an event like that because the prep work can be done ahead and it keeps warm well in the slow cooker for the party!
So now the only question is, do you eat the corn on the side or mix it all in?!

Has anyone made the chicken ahead of time and froze it? How did it turn out? Any freezing tips?
I haven’t tried freezing it, but I think it would do ok. The only thing may be that the sour cream might curdle a bit. You could either wait to add it until after it is defrosted. Or if you don’t care about the look, it would still taste good even if it curdles a bit.
@Carlee, so great! That was my thought too. I will try to freeze it and post how it turns out. My sister sent me this recipe severa months back and now it’s a family favorite! I want to make it ahead of time to take to our Airbnb on the beach with friends!
What a great idea! Have fun and let me know how it turns out.
@Carlee, it was perfect and delicious!!!!
Oh good, I am glad to hear it!
My husband could not get over how tasty this meal was. He was asking when we can have it again before he was even finished his dinner.
A beautiful and simply meal.
That makes me so happy!
There is nothing like good old meat and gravy, whether you have it with potatoes, biscuits, or noodles. This dish sounds so good and I like that you used your slow cooker. Sometimes I just want some good old fashioned food!
Comforting, warm, filling and delicious… it doesn't get much better!
Hi Carlee, cooking is obviously in your family genes. My husband would love this on mash! Serving a meal on biscuits sounds strange to me, but I'm guessing they aren't the kind of biscuits I'm thinking of.

Our biscuits are fluffy and buttery and have a neutral flavor (mostly flour/butter or cream) so they can be served sweet or savory. I am assuming what you are thinking of might be more like what we call a cookie =)
oh yes please! I love a good slow cooker meal and this one is new to me! YUM!!
Thank you so much! This is definitely a warm plate of comfort!
