Instructions

1. Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika on both sides.

2. If desired, brown the chicken thighs in a skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes skin-side down, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes before transferring to the crockpot.

3. Place the chopped onion and minced garlic at the bottom of the crockpot. Arrange the seasoned chicken thighs on top and pour the chicken broth over them.

4. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is tender.

5. About 30 minutes before serving, remove the chicken thighs and whisk together flour and heavy cream in a bowl. Pour this mixture into the crockpot and stir well. If using, add Dijon mustard.

6. Cover and cook on high for 20-30 minutes until the gravy thickens.

7. Return the chicken thighs to the crockpot and warm through for another 5 minutes. Serve with gravy over the chicken.

Notes

Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with mashed potatoes or rice to soak up the gravy.
