7. Remove chicken; set aside.
8. Warm heavy cream in a small saucepan.
9. Whisk warm cream into crockpot gravy.
10. Return chicken to crockpot; stir gently to coat.
11. Serve hot with your favorite sides (mashed potatoes, steamed veggies, etc.).

Keto/Low-Carb Adaptation:

For a keto or low-carb version, substitute almond or coconut flour for all-purpose flour. Use a low-carb thickener like xanthan gum if needed. Serve over cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles.

Tips & Tricks:

• Add rosemary or sage for extra flavor.
• For thicker gravy, mix 1 tbsp flour with 1 tbsp cold water and stir into gravy during the last hour.
• Don’t skip browning the onions and garlic – it adds amazing depth of flavor!
