- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 1 ounce envelope au jus mix

- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Add Ingredients: Place the boneless skinless chicken thighs, sliced carrots, celery, and onion directly into the slow cooker.
- Prepare 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.
- Cook: Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables in the slow cooker. Cover the slow cooker with its lid.
- Slow Cook: Set the cooker to low and cook for 6 hours, or set to high and cook for about 4 hours, until the chicken and vegetables are tender and cooked through.

Notes
- Use boneless skinless chicken thighs for the best tenderness and flavor.
- If you don’t have au jus or gravy mix, you can use beef broth and cornstarch or flour to thicken the sauce.
- Feel free to add additional vegetables like potatoes or mushrooms for variation.
- For a thicker sauce, remove the lid in the last 30 minutes to allow some liquid to evaporate.
- If you prefer white meat, boneless skinless chicken breasts can be used but may cook faster and dry out more easily.
- Fresh parsley adds a nice color pop but can be omitted if unavailable.
