Making Slow Cooker Chicken and Gravy
First, add the cream of chicken soup, water or broth (to clean out the can with), the gravy mix, and onions to the slow cooker. Stir together.
Next, season both sides of the chicken (breasts, thighs, or legs) with the pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Lay the chicken in the sauce, then flip over, thereby coating the chicken evenly.
Cover with the lid, and that’s about it.
Time to set your slow cooker. Since it is a sLOW cooker, the preferred setting is LOW for 6 – 7 hours, but if you don’t have the luxury of time, you can set it on HIGH for 3 – 4 hours.
Additionally, you can add some frozen vegetables during the last 30 minutes. Is this easy, or what?
