Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 to 3 pounds boneless chicken thighs or breasts

Liquids and Soup

  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup

Seasonings and Spices

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Fats and Thickeners

  • 2 tablespoons butter (or dairy-free butter for dairy-free option)
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour or cornstarch (for slurry)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Chicken: Season chicken pieces evenly with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to create a flavorful base that keeps the meat juicy during cooking.
  2. Combine Ingredients in the Crock Pot: Place the seasoned chicken into the crock pot. Pour chicken broth and cream of mushroom soup over the top, then add several pats of butter. Stir gently to mix the ingredients evenly.
  3. Slow Cook on Low: Set the crock pot to low and cook for 6 to 7 hours, allowing the chicken to become tender and the flavors to meld for a creamy, rich gravy.
  4. Thicken the Gravy: About 30 minutes before serving, mix 1 tablespoon of flour or cornstarch with a small amount of cold water to form a slurry. Stir this into the crock pot and cook uncovered until the gravy thickens to your preferred consistency.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Stir the chicken and gravy gently, taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then serve hot with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • Use chicken thighs for juicier, more flavorful results, but breasts work fine if preferred.
  • Adding the flour or cornstarch slurry late ensures smooth, lump-free gravy.
  • Cooking low and slow enhances tenderness and flavor integration.
  • Season the chicken well before cooking and adjust salt at the end.
  • Using a digital timer can prevent overcooking and drying out the chicken.
