I grew up in a small town in north-central Wisconsin, where Amish chicken and gravy is a traditional meal served at everything from graduation parties to weddings. You often find this dish made with turkey instead of chicken.
Ingredients
- 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 cup chicken bone broth, homemade or store-bought
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese (Kite Hill brand cream cheese style spread if dairy-free), softened
- 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- Fresh herbs of choice, such as thyme, for garnish (optional)
- Melted ghee or unsalted butter, for drizzling (optional; omit for dairy-free)
Serving Suggestions
- 1 batch Mashed Fauxtatoes
- 6 Garlicky Cheddar Biscuits, split in half
- 1 batch Cauliflower Rice
How to Make It
- Place the chicken thighs in a 4-quart slow cooker. Combine the broth, cream cheese, poultry seasoning, and pepper in a blender and puree until smooth. Add the blended mixture to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or until the chicken falls apart easily. Shred the meat with 2 forks and stir it into the gravy. Taste and add salt, if desired.
- Serve the chicken over mashed fauxtatoes, biscuits, or cauliflower rice with lots of gravy from the slow cooker. Garnish with fresh herbs and a drizzle of melted ghee, if desired.
- Store extras in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a baking dish in a preheated 350°F oven for 5 minutes or until warmed through.
