Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 3 chicken breasts
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 5 tbsp salted butter

  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Drizzle avocado oil in the bottom of the slow cooker. Add the chicken breasts and season with garlic powder, onion, powder, parsley, oregano, and paprika.
  • In a medium saucepot, melt the butter over medium heat, then whisk in the flour.
    Cook the roux for 1-2 minutes. Whisk the cornstarch with the chicken stock, then whisk it into the roux.
    Simmer, whisking constantly until the gravy has thickened to your liking.
  • Pour the gravy into the slow cooker and cover.
    Cook on low for 4-5 hours or until the chicken is fall-apart tender.
  • Serve on egg noodles or rice, with a sprinkling of parsley.
    I like to serve this chicken and gravy with a side of peas for an English-inspired dinner.
