Equipment

  • Slow Cooker

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lbs Boneless skinless chicken thighs Tender choice that stays juicy
  • 2 cups Carrots, sliced Natural sweetness
  • 1 cup Celery, chopped Adds crunch and flavor
  • 1 medium Onion, chopped Building a savory base

Liquid and Seasonings

  • 3 cups Chicken stock Homemade for extra depth
  • 1 packet Au jus mix Infuses savory taste
  • 1 packet Chicken gravy mix Thickens the liquid
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder Amplifies aromas and flavors
  • 1 teaspoon Onion powder Gentle onion flavor
  • 1 teaspoon Black pepper Adds warmth and spice

Instructions
 

  • Preparation: Gather all your ingredients and chop the carrots, celery, and onion as needed. Make sure the chicken thighs are trimmed of excess fat if desired.
  • Layer Ingredients in Slow Cooker: Place the boneless skinless chicken thighs at the bottom of the slow cooker. Add the sliced carrots, chopped celery, and chopped onion on top evenly.
  • 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 fully combined and smooth.
  • Pour and Cook: Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables in the slow cooker, ensuring everything is evenly coated. Cover the slow cooker with the lid and set the cooking temperature to low for 6 hours, or if short on time, cook on high for about 4 hours.
  • Final Touch: Once the cooking time is complete and the chicken is tender and juicy, optionally sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the top for a pop of color and freshness.
  • Serve: Dish out the savory chicken pot roast along with the flavorful vegetables and luscious gravy. Enjoy the heartwarming meal perfect for cozy nights.

Notes

For a thicker gravy, you can remove the lid during the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow some liquid to evaporate. Feel free to add potatoes or mushrooms to the slow cooker for additional heartiness. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave. Use fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary to enhance flavor if desired.
