Pour brown gravy mix over chicken drumettes, along with 2 ingredients, into slow cooker for a comforting meal that I make without even thinking

This is the kind of slow cooker supper I can throw together without even thinking—a real old-fashioned, stick-to-your-ribs Midwestern comfort meal.

I take simple chicken drumettes, pour brown gravy mix right over them, add just two more pantry ingredients, and let the slow cooker do the work. It reminds me of the easy church-supper dishes the Amish ladies used to bring—nothing fancy, just tender chicken in a rich brown gravy ladled over egg noodles. It’s the sort of recipe you lean on when the day’s been long and you still want something warm and homey on the table.

Serve the brown gravy chicken spooned generously over buttered egg noodles, with a side of green beans or peas for color. A simple lettuce salad with a tangy dressing helps cut the richness. If you like, pass the black pepper at the table and maybe a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a touch of brightness. Warm dinner rolls or slices of soft white bread are perfect for soaking up every last bit of gravy.
