Main Ingredients
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1.5 lbs baby red potatoes, quartered
  • 1 lb whole carrots, peeled and cut into chunks

Preparation
  1. Begin by tossing your chicken, potatoes, and carrots directly into the slow cooker.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and chicken broth.
  3. Pour this garlic butter mixture over the chicken and veggies in the crockpot. Gently stir to ensure everything is well-coated.
Cooking
  1. Cover the slow cooker and set it to LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, letting the magic happen.
  2. Once everything is cooked and the chicken is tender, garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Plate it up and relish the rich flavors!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Freeze in portions for up to three months. To add nutritional value, toss in greens like spinach or kale during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
