Effortless and comforting, this Slow Cooker Chicken and Gravy features tender chicken bathed in a rich, flavorful gravy—perfect for a hearty meal after a busy day.
Ingredients
- 4 bone-in, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts, if preferred)
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water (for gravy thickening)
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Place the sliced onion and garlic in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Season the chicken with salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary, then arrange it over the onions.
- Pour the chicken broth and cream of chicken soup over the top, ensuring everything is coated.
- Set the slow cooker to Low and cook for 6–7 hours or High for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
- Remove the chicken onto a plate and cover it to keep warm.
- Stir the cornstarch slurry into the cooking liquid and turn the slow cooker to High. Cook for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens.
- Return the chicken to the slow cooker, spooning gravy over the pieces.
