Tips for the Best Slow Cooker Chicken

Choose chicken thighs for extra tenderness: Boneless, skinless chicken thighs stay especially juicy during slow cooking and add a richer flavor.

Don’t over-season: Condensed soup and chicken broth can already contain plenty of sodium. Taste the finished gravy before adding additional salt.

Make the gravy extra creamy: Stir in 1–2 tablespoons of sour cream after turning off the slow cooker for a smoother, richer finish.

Thicken the sauce: If the gravy isn’t thick enough, combine 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon cold water. Stir it into the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for another 20–30 minutes.

Add vegetables: Baby carrots or additional celery can be added for a heartier one-pot meal.
