FAQs

Can I cook this recipe on the stovetop instead of a crockpot?
Yes, but you’ll need to simmer the chicken on low for about 45 minutes in a covered pot.

Why is my gravy too thin?
Slow cookers add moisture, so if it’s too thin, use cornstarch or flour to thicken it at the end.

Can I add vegetables to the crockpot?
Yes, potatoes, carrots, or onions can be added underneath the chicken for a full one-pot meal.

Is it okay to use boneless chicken instead?
Yes, but boneless chicken may cook faster, so check for doneness earlier.
