Ingredients

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme or poultry seasoning
  • Optional: 1 cup sliced mushrooms or chopped carrots

Instructions

  1. Place chicken, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, thyme, and optional mushrooms/carrots into the crockpot.
  2. Pour in chicken broth to just cover the chicken.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until chicken is tender.
  4. About 30 minutes before serving, melt butter in a saucepan. Whisk in flour and cook for 1–2 minutes to form a roux.
  5. Whisk in heavy cream until smooth, then add 1 cup of cooking liquid from the crockpot. Stir to combine.
  6. Pour roux mixture back into crockpot and stir gently. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  7. Shred or slice chicken in the crockpot and stir to combine with the gravy. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Use chicken thighs for richer flavor.
  • Add a splash of white wine at the beginning for depth.
  • Use full-fat dairy for creamier texture, or light cream for a lighter version.
  • Finish with chopped parsley or green onions for freshness.
  • Reheat with a splash of broth to maintain smooth texture.
