Seasoning and Sauce
- 1 cup chicken stock

- 1 (1 ounce) envelope chicken gravy mix
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Prepare Ingredients: Place the boneless skinless chicken thighs, sliced carrots, celery, and onion directly into the slow cooker, creating a base for your pot roast.

Notes
- Using boneless skinless chicken thighs ensures tender, juicy meat after slow cooking.
- You can add other root vegetables like potatoes for a heartier meal.
- Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat nicely.
- If you prefer thicker gravy, mix a teaspoon of cornstarch with cold water and stir into the slow cooker near the end of cooking.
