Holy Crow, this stuff is good (recipe)
Oh my gosh, you guys, this is SO GOOD. Tastes like the inside of a Chicken Pot Pie, but low in calories (for a dinner meal)!
Smothered Chicken in Gravy (Crock Pot)
4 really good size servings (could serve 6)
Ingredients
• 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast or thighs
• 3 medium carrots — sliced or diced
• 1/3 cup onion — chopped
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 teaspoons Herbs de Provence seasoning, divided
• 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
• 1 package Knorr roasted chicken gravy mix
• 1/3 cup buttermilk or 2 % milk
• 2 teaspoons flour
• 1 cup frozen peas
**NOTE** I left the peas and carrots out of mine, or my husband and kids wouldn't eat it
Directions
In a 4 to 6 quart crock pot, combine chicken, onion, chicken broth, butter, salt, pepper, 1 teaspoon Herbs de Provence and bay leaf; mix well.
Cover; cook on low setting for 5 to 6 hours or on high setting for 3 hours.
About 20 minutes before serving, remove chicken breast from crock pot. Remove and discard bay leaf; stir gravy mix into remaining crock pot liquid. Shred the meat with 2 forks and return it to the crockpot.
In a measuring cup, blend buttermilk or milk and flour until smooth. Stir this flour mixture and the frozen peas into chicken/gravy mixture as well as the reserved 1 teaspoon of Herbs de Provence and 1/2 teaspoon of poultry seasoning; mix well. Cover, increase heat to high, and cook an additional 25-20 minutes until the peas are done. If the gravy is too thick add a little more milk or chicken broth.
Serve with rice or biscuits, mashed potatoes, baked potatoes or noodles.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I ended up using 19 ounces of chicken breast, because that's what I had on hand in the freezer. I used 2 Tablespoons of real butter (unsalted), used buttermilk made from powdered SaCo mix, and as noted I left out the peas and carrots because I have pickypants, whiny baby kids and husband. Because I left out the veggies, I used the smaller 4qt crock pot size and it was just right. Nutrition based on that information is:
Calories: 236 calories / 10g fat / 10g carbs / 31g protein
I served it over Pillsbury Southern Style frozen biscuits (170 cals each, yikes but so good) but I imagine it would be to die for over noodles or on potatoes too!

I just made something similar to this yesterday and you are right! AMAZING!
1 1/4
pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
1
tablespoon instant chopped onion
1
dried bay leaf
1/4
teaspoon pepper
1
jar (18 oz) chicken gravy
2
medium celery stalks, cut into 1/2-inch slices
2 1/4
cups Original Bisquick® mix
2/3
cup milk
1
bag (12 oz) Green Giant® Valley Fresh Steamers™ frozen mixed vegetables
1
Place chicken in 3 1/2- to 4-quart slow cooker. Top with onion, bay leaf, pepper and gravy. Place celery on gravy.
2
Cover and cook on Low heat setting 8 to 10 hours.
3
About 30 minutes before serving, make and bake 8 biscuits using Bisquick mix and milk as directed on package.
4
Meanwhile, gently stir frozen vegetables into chicken mixture. Increase heat setting to High. Cover and cook 15 minutes. Remove bay leaf.
5
For each serving, split biscuit and place in soup bowl or tart pan. Spoon about 3/4 cup chicken mixture on top of biscuit.
Note: This recipe was tested in slow cookers with heating elements in the side and bottom of the cooker, not in cookers that stand only on a heated base. For slow cookers with just a heated base, follow the manufacturer’s directions for layering ingredients and choosing a temperature.
EXPERT TIPS
In a rush, enjoy this as a hearty stew without the biscuits.
Stir 1/4 cup white wine into the chicken mixture, and bake frozen puff pastry shells in place of the biscuits for an elegant twist.
