Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Vegetables

  • 23 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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Place the boneless skinless chicken thighs, sliced carrots, sliced celery, and sliced onion directly into the slow cooker.
  2. 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.
  3. Combine and Cook: Pour the seasoning and broth mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables. Cover the slow cooker with its lid.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
