Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 lbs boneless and skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 lbs baby carrots (fresh)
  • 1 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes (cut into wedges)
Garlic Herb Mixture
  • 1/2 cup butter (salted, melted)
  • 3 tbsp garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp thyme (dried)
  • 1 tsp parsley (dried)
  • 1 tsp salt (kosher or table)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth (optional, for extra flavor)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Layer the chicken: Place 2 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of your crockpot.
  2. Add veggies: Toss in 1 lb of fresh baby carrots and 1 lb of Yukon Gold potato wedges on top of the chicken.
  3. Make the garlic herb mixture: In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup of melted salted butter, 3 tbsp of minced garlic, 1 tsp each of dried thyme & parsley, 1 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Stir until it’s a fragrant blend.
  4. Combine it all: Pour the garlic herb mixture evenly over the chicken and veggies. If you like, pour 1/2 cup of chicken broth around the edges of the crockpot.
  5. Cook it up: Secure the lid on your crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.

Notes

To make this dish even better, consider using fresh herbs for enhanced flavor, adding extra vegetables like bell peppers or onions, or incorporating a splash of cream or sour cream just before serving. For a vegan variation, substitute chicken with chickpeas or tempeh and use olive oil instead of butter.
