Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Vegetables
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 1.5 lbs baby red potatoes, quartered
- 1 lb whole carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
Garlic Butter Sauce
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
Garnish
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the Ingredients: Toss the boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs along with the quartered baby red potatoes and peeled, chunked carrots into the slow cooker, arranging them evenly.
- Mix the Garlic Butter Sauce: In a separate bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and chicken broth. Mix thoroughly until well blended.
- Pour and Coat: Pour the garlic butter mixture evenly over the chicken, potatoes, and carrots in the slow cooker. Stir gently to ensure all pieces are coated with the flavorful sauce.
- Set It and Forget It: Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6 to 7 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through, and the vegetables are tender.
- Finish and Serve: Once cooked, optionally garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Plate the dish and serve warm, enjoying this soul-warming, hearty meal with family or friends.
Notes
- You can swap chicken breasts for thighs for juicier meat and richer flavor.
- If using larger potatoes, adjust cooking time as needed to ensure tenderness.
- For extra flavor, add a splash of white wine or lemon juice to the garlic butter sauce.
- Ensure the slow cooker is on a stable heat setting to avoid under or overcooking the ingredients.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
