Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Vegetables

  • 23 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 1 onion, sliced

Seasoning and Sauce

  • 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 Ingredients: Place the boneless skinless chicken thighs, sliced carrots, celery, and onion directly into the crockpot, layering the veggies around the chicken to ensure even cooking.
  2. 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 the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Combine and Cook: Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the chicken and vegetables in the slow cooker. Cover with the lid securely.
  4. Slow Cook: Cook on low heat for 6 hours or on high heat for about 4 hours, until the chicken is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Optionally sprinkle with fresh parsley to add a pop of color before serving. Dish the chicken pot roast warm as a comforting meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute boneless skinless chicken breasts if preferred, but thighs provide more juiciness.
  • Adding fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary enhances flavor.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes or crusty bread to soak up the delicious gravy.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
