There's nothing quite like Crock Pot Chicken And Mushroom Tarragon Gravy over the top of garlic mashed potatoes, Eggs Noodles, Skinny Mashed Cauliflower or even Skinny Mashed Yams.
There's just something so comforting about gravy with fork tender pulled chicken, mushrooms and tarragon.
I love that I can make this in a crock-pot and forget it for the next 6-8 hours.
I love the smell the tarragon imparts as it cooks and my husbands face as he walks through the door and is wafted by dinner.
The colors aren't amazing unless you make this with the Skinny Mashed Yams (which is to die for if your a yam lover) but I promise the flavor is amazing!
I have 2 options for thickeners the first is flour which is a little more time consuming and the second is cornstarch which would make this gluten free if using gf cornstarch.
If using flour to make a roux melt 1/3 cup Butter in a medium sized saucepan and add 1/3 cup All-Purpose Flour. Use a whisk and stir until flour starts to bubble and cook.
(If using cornstarch by pass this step and slowly pour chicken stock into cornstarch while whisking to avoid lumps until all the chicken stock has been added. Pour over the top of the chicken and mushrooms. )
Add 1/2 cup Chicken Stock and cook until mixture starts to thicken about 30 seconds.
Repeat using another half cup chicken broth. Repeat until all 3 1/2 cups Chicken Stock have been stirred in.
`
At this point you should have a velvety gravy. Remove from heat.
Add to Crock Pot:
- 4 whole Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
- 8 ounces Sliced Mushrooms
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
- 3/4 teaspoon Granulated Garlic
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Tarragon
- 6 cloves Chopped Garlic
Cover and cook for 6-8 hours until chicken is fork tender and shreds easily using 2 forks. Serve over the top of your favorite side.
