Description

Slow-cooked chicken thighs in a rich gravy, perfect for weeknight dinners with minimal fuss.


Ingredients

  • 4 chicken thighs (bone-in recommended)
  • 1 cup chicken broth (low-sodium)
  • 1 packet gravy mix (about 1 oz)
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooked white rice for serving


Instructions

  1. Arrange the chicken thighs in a single layer in the bottom of the crockpot. Pat them dry first.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, gravy mix, chopped onion, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth.
  3. Pour the gravy mixture evenly over the chicken, ensuring the onions are distributed.
  4. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours until the thighs are very tender.
  5. Remove the chicken and stir the gravy; thicken if necessary with a cornstarch slurry and cook on high for 10–15 minutes.
  6. Serve the thighs and gravy over hot cooked white rice.

Notes

Optional: Sear the chicken before slow cooking for added flavor; serve with steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
