❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Crockpot Chicken and Gravy
1. Can I use frozen chicken for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen chicken breasts. Just add them to the slow cooker frozen and increase the cooking time by about 1 hour on low. Make sure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
2. How do I make the gravy thicker?
To thicken the gravy, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to make a slurry. Stir it into the gravy during the last 30 minutes of cooking and let it simmer until thickened.
3. Can I add vegetables to this dish?
Absolutely. You can add sliced carrots, celery, or mushrooms to the slow cooker with the chicken. They will cook down and add flavor to the gravy.
4. How should I store leftovers?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of broth if the gravy has thickened too much.
5. Can I make this recipe dairy free?
Yes, you can substitute the butter with olive oil or a dairy free butter alternative. Use a dairy free heavy cream or full fat coconut milk instead of heavy cream. The gravy will still be creamy and delicious.
