Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Cookware: Begin by grabbing your trusty crockpot and set it on a stable surface. Add the boneless skinless chicken thighs to the bottom of the pot, ensuring they are evenly spaced for optimal cooking. Layer in the chopped carrots, celery, and onion.
  2. Mix the Sauce Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the chicken stock, au jus mix, and chicken gravy mix until well combined and smooth. Then, sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper, mixing thoroughly.
  3. Combine and Cook: Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables in the crockpot. Stir everything together, ensuring everything is coated with the delicious sauce. Cover and set it to low heat, cooking for 6 hours.
  4. Check for Doneness: After 6 hours, remove the lid and test the chicken for tenderness; it should easily shred apart. The vegetables should also be fork-tender.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Ladle generous portions into bowls, including the gravy. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy over creamy mashed potatoes or as is!
