Chicken and Vegetables
- 2–3 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 2 celery stalks, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
Seasoning and Broth
- 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
- Prepare the Slow Cooker: Place the boneless skinless chicken thighs, sliced carrots, sliced celery, and sliced onion directly into the slow cooker.
- 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 the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Combine and Cook: Pour the seasoning and broth mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables. Cover the slow cooker with its lid.
- Slow Cook: Cook on low heat for 6 hours or on high heat for about 4 hours until the chicken and vegetables are tender and infused with flavor.
- Garnish and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the dish to add a pop of color. Serve warm as a comforting main course.
Notes
- You can adjust the cooking time slightly depending on your slow cooker’s settings and your preferred chicken texture.
- Fresh parsley garnish adds color and a hint of freshness, but you can omit it if unavailable.
- Use boneless skinless chicken thighs for best results as they remain tender and juicy after slow cooking.
- For a thicker sauce, remove the lid in the last 30 minutes to allow some liquid to evaporate.
