What goes in

3 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
2 cups chicken broth
1 yellow onion, sliced thin
2 tsp onion powder · 1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried thyme · 1 tsp salt · 1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp butter

Stir in at the end

3 tbsp cornstarch
3 tbsp cold water

Thicken at the end

Cornstarch stirred in at the start breaks down over a long cook and the gravy goes thin. Make the slurry and add it in the last fifteen minutes.

How to make it

Lay the thighs in the pot and scatter the onion over them.
Season with the onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, salt and pepper, pour the broth around the edge, dot the butter on top. Lid on.
Low 7 hours or high 4 hours.
Shred the chicken in the pot with two forks and turn it to high.
Whisk the cornstarch into the cold water until there are no lumps, then stir it through the liquid.
Lid on, 15 minutes, until the gravy coats a spoon. Taste and salt again if it needs it.

Swap it

Breasts work, drop to low 6 hours. For a deeper gravy use half broth and half beef broth.
