Chicken In Onion Buttermilk Gravy - Slow Cooker - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 lbs chicken pieces (skin on breasts and skinless legs and thighs)
6 onions, sliced paper thin
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns, cracked
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 (10 ounce) can condensed chicken broth, undiluted
1 bay leaf
1 1/2 cups green peas, thawed if frozen
3/4 cup buttermilk

Preparation

In a nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken, in batches, and brown lightly on all sides. Transfer to slow cooker stoneware.
Reduce heat to medium. Add onions to pan and cook, stirring, until softened and just beginning to turn brown. Add salt, peppercorns, and thyme and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Sprinkle flour over mixture, stir well and cook for 1 minute. Add chicken broth and bay leaf and cook, stirring until mixture thickens.
Pour mixture over chicken. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours or on HIGH for 3 hours, until juices run clear when the chicken is pierced with a fork. Stir in peas and buttermilk. Cover and cook on HIGH for 20 minutes, until peas are cooked. Discard bay leaf.
