  • 1 tsp of dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp of dried thyme
  • 1 sachet of instant supreme/roast chicken gravy (no water added to gravy)

  • Sprinkle herbs over chicken
  • Sprinkle dry gravy mix over chicken
  • Add half a cup of water over the top of chicken (no mixing needed)
  • Cook on low for 4hrs
  • Gently remove chicken after moving it around in dish to disperse any gravy mix still on top of chicken, and set aside briefly
  • Add cream to slow cooker, whisk to combine well (see notes below) then return chicken to gravy
  • Cook for an additional 30 minutes to heat gravy through

Notes

  • If you feel it's needed you could also add 2 tsp of cornflour in with cream to thicken gravy further but we didn't need to
