Crockpot Chicken and Gravy FAQS

What’s the easiest way to shred chicken?

There are actually meat shredding tools that you can buy that can be of assistance but using two forks and just tearing it apart into bite sized pieces works as well. It’s actually easier to shred the chicken when it’s hot so be careful while you’re doing this so you don’t get burnt.

This is why chicken is so great. Literally, any type of side dish will go well with this recipe and flavorful gravy. And since you can put it right on top of white rice, brown rice, noodles, potatoes, cauliflower rice, or just about anything else, there isn’t any side dish that is off the table.

Pair it up with salads, steamed veggies, green beans, carrots, or even a nice twice baked potato to complete a truly hearty and delicious meal.

You can also make this dish creamier by adding sour cream before serving.

Want to try different meats? Any boneless meats should work well with this recipe, including chicken thighs, pork chops, turkey breasts, or even ham.
