There's something undeniably comforting about a hearty plate of chicken with gravy. Whether it's the aroma wafting through your home or the tender, juicy bites that melt in your mouth, this Slow Cooker Chicken with Gravy recipe is sure to become a family favorite.
Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, add a little oil and brown the chicken thighs skin-side down for about 5-7 minutes, until golden brown. Flip and brown the other side for another 5 minutes.
Place the browned chicken thighs into the slow cooker.
In a bowl, combine the chicken broth, heavy cream, flour, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk until smooth.
Sprinkle the chopped onion and minced garlic over the chicken in the slow cooker. If you're including vegetables, add them now.
Pour the gravy mixture over the chicken and vegetables.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the chicken is tender.
If you prefer a thicker gravy, remove the chicken once cooked, and mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a bit of water, then stir it into the gravy.
Serve the chicken hot, drizzled with the creamy chicken gravy.
