Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Vegetables

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

Seasoning and Liquids

  • 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 Ingredients: Slice the carrots, celery stalks, and onion. Trim any excess fat off the chicken thighs to ensure lean, tender meat after cooking.
  2. Layer in Slow Cooker: Place the chicken thighs at the bottom of the crockpot, then add the sliced carrots, celery, and onions on top, distributing evenly.
  3. Mix 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 Sauce Over: Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the chicken and vegetables in the crockpot to infuse flavor throughout.
  5. Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for about 4 hours. The dish is done when the chicken is tender and easily shreds with a fork and vegetables are soft.
  6. Garnish: Optionally sprinkle fresh chopped parsley on top before serving for a touch of color and freshness.
  7. Serve: Spoon the chicken, vegetables, and sauce onto plates or bowls and serve warm for a cozy comforting meal.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, sear the chicken thighs in a skillet before adding to the crockpot.
  • Use low sodium chicken stock to control salt level.
  • Feel free to add potatoes or mushrooms for more hearty vegetables.
  • Leftovers keep well refrigerated up to 3 days and reheat nicely.
  • This dish can be made with bone-in chicken thighs but may require additional cooking time.
