Preparation

Step 1

Place chicken in slow cooker. Scatter vegetables, herbs and seasonings around it and over top.

Pour water down along interior wall of cooker so as not to disturb the other ingredients.

Cover. Cook on Low 8 hours.

Remove chicken from cooker. When cool enough to handle, debone. Set aside and keep warm.

In a small bowl, stir 1/3 c flour into 1 cup chicken broth from slow cooker.

When smooth, stir back into slow cooker. Continue cooking on Low until broth thickens, stirring occasionally to prevent lumps from forming.

When gravy is bubbly and thickened, stir in chicken pieces.

Serving suggestion: Serve with mashed potatoes or noodles.
