How to Make Crockpot Chicken with Gravy
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. For extra flavor, brown the chicken in a hot skillet for 2-3 minutes per side (optional but recommended).
Step 2: Combine Ingredients
In the crockpot, mix together the cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, and onion soup mix. Add the chicken thighs, turning to coat them in the gravy base.
Step 3: Slow Cook
Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Step 4: Finish and Serve
If the gravy is too thin, remove the chicken and thicken the gravy by stirring in a cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp cold water), then cook on high for 10-15 minutes until thickened. Return the chicken to the crockpot to warm before serving.
