This dinner is not only simple it is tasty and delicious, too! So much flavor and the chicken shreds beautifully after the slow cooking process! I had never tried chicken gravy in packets before but now I will be buying them up by the box-full! Try this crockpot chicken and bacon gravy soon. You will love the leftovers just as much! Even the kids enjoyed this dinner! We all know that is never an easy feat! Mission accomplished.

Would be ok to substitute milk for the heavy cream?

The consistency may not hold.

Cooked this in the oven today. Turned out great. I also added shredded cheddar cheese to the top when it was finished baking. Served over mashed potatoes. Kids and husband loved it.
Cecelia says
Is it okay to use canned chicken gravy instead of gravy packets ?!
Hugs & Cookies xoxo says
Hmmm haven’t tried it that way.
Kendra says
Can this be set to low instead of high while I’m at work, would it turn out the same?
Hugs & Cookies xoxo says
I have only tried it on high.
Carla Sadlier says
I read another post similar to this that said 6 hrs on low.
Jessica says
can you use microwavable bacon?
