Store leftover chicken and gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Tips

  • To quickly shred the cooked chicken, you can use a handheld mixer and let the beaters “pull” the chicken apart. (I prefer to use two forks because I am the one who washes dishes.)
  • Spoon the chicken and gravy mixture over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles along with a side of green beans and cranberry sauce.
  • Season with black pepper and additional salt, if desired.
  • If you are working on keeping your carbs to a minimum, serve over cauliflower rice.

Can you put raw chicken in a Crockpot?

Yes, you can. According to the USDA, โ€œThe direct heat from the pot, lengthy cooking and steam created within the tightly-covered container combine to destroy bacteria and make the slow cooker a safe process for cooking foods.โ€

Is it better to cook chicken on HIGH or LOW in the slow cooker?

For best results, cook chicken on LOW in a slow cooker/Crockpot.
