Pammy's Crock Pot Chicken Breast and Gravy

Packer Backer Pammy's Note:

My hubby (says 5 stars) and grand kids (very fussy) really like this. This is one thing all 3 of the grand kids will actually eat. The grand kids normally don't like gravy much but all of them like this gravy. I serve with mashed potatoes, a veggie and homemade rolls. Hope you enjoy it! Note added - you can use no sodium bouillon. NOTE ADDED - I have also noticed sometimes when I make this it seems more salty then other times. DEFINATELY try to use low sodium or skip the boullion. Nov. 2007...My daughter used a package of Ranch dressing instead of Italian and a jar of gravy instead of a package. She said they all loved it. We don't care for ranch but thought maybe others would be interested.

Even though the end result was just a tad salty for our tastes, five FANTABULOUS stars for this one!!!! Simply put, when I thinned the gravy out with some half & half & a bit of water, this was some of the best chicken we've ever sunk our teeth into! The gravy has an intense chicken flavor that's UNBEATABLE if you're really craving chicken. Understandable, considering the bouillon, chicken soup & chicken gravy mix are all working in harmony to flavor this so well. I browned my chicken in olive oil first and ended up subbing chicken broth for the bouillon because I discovered (too late) mine had gone bad. I also used Knorr Roasted Chicken gravy mix and found as I tasted along the way that this final ingredient was what truly took this recipe over the edge! I served it with sour cream & onion mashed potatoes & sweet corn for a dinner to remember. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this Pammy!

Great recipe! I used canned Campbell's gravy and added a little water-as needed. I also added some cheddar cheese. I made it with mashed potatoes. Very easy and tasty! Thanks!

Quite good - but it is a bit salty. I did not use the chicken bouillon at all - and added a bit more water as it cooked to dilute it a bit. I drained off the fat/liquid that was in the pot after the chicken cooked. I ended up sort of chopping/shredding the chicken and serving it over egg noodles. Very good flavor and the chicken cooked well.
