🍋🫒 Crockpot Chicken & Gravy with Mashed Potatoes! 🍗🥔
Looking for a cozy, comforting meal? This slow-cooked chicken with homemade gravy is perfect for an easy family dinner! ❤️
Ingredients:
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 onions, chopped
6 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
1 tsp tomato paste
Salt and pepper to taste
½ cup chicken broth

1 tbsp paprika
Instructions:
Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and cook until softened, about 8–10 minutes stirring constantly.
Stir in tomato paste, salt, and pepper.
Add the chicken broth, scraping up all the delicious browned bits from the pan.
Transfer the onion mixture to your crockpot. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika, then place it breast-side down in the crockpot.
Cover and cook on LOW for 4–6 hours, until the chicken reaches a safe internal temperature of 165°F.
Remove the chicken and let it rest for 20 minutes. Use an immersion blender to blend the cooking liquid into a smooth, flavorful gravy.
Serve over creamy mashed potatoes and enjoy! 😋
