Ingredients

Chicken and Vegetables

  • 2-3 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 1 onion, sliced

Sauce

  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1 (1 ounce) envelope au jus mix
  • 1 (1 ounce) envelope chicken gravy mix
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Slice the carrots, celery, and onion as specified. Ensure the chicken thighs are boneless and skinless for even cooking.
  2. Add to Slow Cooker: Place the chicken thighs, sliced carrots, celery, and onions directly into the crockpot, spreading them evenly.
  3. Mix the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken stock, au jus mix, chicken gravy mix, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
  4. Pour the Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables in the slow cooker, ensuring all ingredients are well coated.
  5. Cook: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on low heat for 6 hours or on high heat for about 4 hours, or until the chicken is tender and vegetables are cooked through.
  6. Serve: Optionally sprinkle fresh parsley over the dish for a pop of color. Serve warm as a comforting, hearty meal.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary.
  • Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preference.
  • Chicken thighs are preferred for their tenderness and flavor, but boneless chicken breasts can be used as a leaner alternative.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated for up to 3 days.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious gravy.
