Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs 2 to 3 lbs
  • 2 carrots sliced
  • 2 celery stalks sliced
  • 1 onion sliced
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1 oz au jus mix packet 1 envelope
  • 1 oz chicken gravy mix packet 1 envelope
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • fresh parsley optional for garnish

Method
 

  1. Layer the sliced carrots, celery, and onion in the base of your slow cooker.
  2. Arrange the chicken thighs evenly on top of the vegetables.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine chicken stock, au jus mix, chicken gravy mix, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper, whisking until fully blended.
  4. Pour the mixture evenly over the chicken and veggies.
  5. Cover the slow cooker and set to LOW, cooking for 6 hours, or use HIGH and cook for 4 hours, until chicken is cooked through and easily shredded with a fork.
  6. Optionally sprinkle fresh parsley on top before serving.
  7. Serve warm alongside mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice for a cozy meal.

Notes

  • For best results, use chicken thighs rather than breasts. You can prepare the dish ahead of time by layering all ingredients in the slow cooker insert and refrigerating overnight, then cooking in the morning. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
