Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Vegetables

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

Seasoning and 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: Start by slicing the carrots, celery stalks, and onion. Trim the chicken thighs if needed. This prep ensures everything cooks evenly in the crockpot.
  2. Add to slow cooker: Place the chicken thighs, sliced carrots, celery, and onion directly into the slow cooker. This layering sets the base for the flavors to meld during cooking.
  3. Make sauce mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken stock, au jus mix, chicken gravy mix, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper until fully combined and smooth. This mixture will thicken during cooking, creating a rich sauce.
  4. Combine and cook: Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetables in the slow cooker. Cover with the lid and cook on low heat for 6 hours, or on high heat for about 4 hours, until the chicken is tender and vegetables are soft.
  5. Garnish and serve: Once cooked, optionally sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and fresh flavor. Serve warm as a comforting main dish perfect for any day.

  • Cooking times can vary depending on your slow cooker model; adjust accordingly.
  • For added flavor, you can add fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary before cooking.
