A comforting and easy crockpot chicken and gravy recipe that combines tender chicken cooked slowly in a flavorful gravy made with broth and seasoning. Perfect for a hands-off dinner that delivers rich, savory flavors with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 2 pounds)

Gravy Mix

  • 1 packet (about 1 ounce) of brown gravy mix or gravy seasoning

Broth and Seasoning

  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary for additional flavor

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Rinse and pat dry the chicken thighs. Measure out the gravy mix, broth, and seasonings for easy access.
  2. Add to Crockpot: Place the chicken thighs into the bottom of the crockpot in a single layer if possible.
  3. Mix Gravy: In a small bowl, combine the gravy mix, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and optional herbs. Stir well to dissolve the gravy mix.
  4. Pour Gravy Over Chicken: Pour the prepared gravy mixture evenly over the chicken thighs in the crockpot.
  5. Cook Until Tender: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). The gravy will thicken during cooking.
  6. Serve: Carefully remove the chicken from the crockpot and serve with the thickened gravy spooned over the top. This dish pairs well with mashed potatoes or rice.

Notes

  • For thicker gravy, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water and stir into the crockpot in the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • Bone-in chicken thighs provide more flavor and remain tender, but boneless can be used—it will cook faster.
  • Adjust seasonings based on taste preferences or dietary restrictions.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
