Here’s a delicious and easy Crock Pot Chicken and Gravy recipe that’s perfect for a low-effort, comforting meal! It’s tender chicken in a savory, creamy gravy. Serve it over cauliflower rice, mashed cauliflower, or any low-carb side of your choice.
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
- 1 packet of ranch seasoning (or 2-3 tablespoons of homemade ranch seasoning for a healthier option)
- 1 packet of gravy mix (sugar-free, or use a homemade keto gravy mix for a low-carb version)
- 1 cup chicken broth (preferably low-sodium)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream or coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons butter (optional, for extra richness)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley or chives (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts (or thighs) in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Make the Gravy: In a separate bowl, combine the ranch seasoning, gravy mix, chicken broth, and heavy cream (or coconut cream). Stir well to combine.
- Pour Over the Chicken: Pour the gravy mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker, making sure the chicken is well-coated.
- Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
- Shred the Chicken (Optional): If you prefer shredded chicken, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker. The chicken should be so tender that it falls apart easily.
- Finish the Gravy: After shredding, you can stir in the butter for added richness if you’d like. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve: Serve the chicken and gravy over your choice of low-carb sides. You can also garnish with fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color.
Tips:
- Homemade Gravy: If you prefer a homemade, low-carb gravy, you can make one using chicken broth, heavy cream, butter, and xanthan gum to thicken it.
- Chicken Thighs: Chicken thighs can also be used for a more flavorful and juicy dish.
- Serve with: Pair with roasted vegetables, mashed cauliflower, or even cauliflower rice for a complete low-carb meal.
