Instructions

  1. Begin by seasoning the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. This step is crucial for building the foundational flavor of the dish.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a drizzle of oil. Sear the chicken thighs for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. This step adds depth to the flavor.
  3. While the chicken is searing, prepare the gravy mixture. In a bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and the gravy mix until smooth.
  4. Once the chicken is browned, transfer it to the slow cooker. Pour the gravy mixture over the chicken, followed by the chopped onion, minced garlic, and thyme.
  5. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The chicken should be fork-tender when done.
  6. Once the cooking time is up, remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the gravy and stir to combine.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley. Enjoy the chicken and gravy over rice or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
