Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by placing the boneless skinless chicken thighs at the bottom of your slow cooker. Layer sliced carrots, chopped celery, and diced onions over the chicken, ensuring even coverage.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together chicken stock, au jus mix, chicken gravy mix, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper until well combined.
  3. Carefully pour your well-mixed gravy over the chicken and vegetables in the slow cooker.
  4. Cover the slow cooker with its lid, and set your crockpot to low for 6 hours or high for 4 hours.
  5. After the cooking time, ensure the chicken has reached an internal temperature of at least 165°F and that the vegetables are tender. Serve warm.
