Instructions

Prepare the Slow Cooker: Place the sliced onion and minced garlic at the bottom of the slow cooker.
Season the Chicken: Season the chicken with salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary. Place the seasoned chicken over the onions in the slow cooker.
Add Liquids: Pour the chicken broth and the cream of chicken soup over the chicken, ensuring it’s well-coated.
Cook the Chicken: Set the slow cooker to Low and cook for 6–7 hours, or on High for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked through.
Thicken the Gravy: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and cover it to keep warm. Stir the cornstarch slurry (cornstarch mixed with cold water) into the cooking liquid. Turn the slow cooker to High and cook for an additional 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
Serve: Return the chicken to the slow cooker, spooning the thickened gravy over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve hot with your favorite sides.

Notes

Different Chicken Cuts: Use boneless chicken breasts or thighs for a leaner version, though bone-in will offer more flavor.

Vegetarian Option: Substitute the chicken with hearty vegetables like potatoes, carrots, and mushrooms for a vegetarian-friendly version of this dish.

Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the gravy for a spicy twist.

Extra Veggies: Add sliced carrots, celery, or peas to the slow cooker to make it a one-pot meal.
