  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream for later

Instructions

  • Cut chicken into bite-sized chunks
  • Spray slow cooker with a nonstick spray
  • Add chicken and mushrooms to slow cooker and toss with flour and seasonings to thoroughly coat
  • Slowly stir in chicken broth

Notes

  • Store leftover chicken and gravy in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in the microwave or the stove.
  • If the gravy is too thin, you can make a slurry from 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of water. Stir the slurry into the gravy in the slow cooker.
  • If the gravy is too thick, add more chicken broth.
  • Add frozen veggies at the beginning of cooking time if desired.
