Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 lb baby carrots (fresh)
  • 1 lb Yukon Gold potatoes (cut into wedges) Can substitute with sweet potatoes
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. Start by placing 2 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of your crockpot.
  2. Toss in 1 lb of fresh baby carrots and 1 lb of Yukon Gold potato wedges on top of the chicken.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine ½ cup of melted salted butter, 3 tbsp of minced garlic, 1 tsp each of dried thyme and parsley, along with 1 tsp of salt and ¼ tsp of black pepper. Stir until it’s well-mixed and aromatic.
  4. Pour the garlic herb mixture evenly over the chicken and veggies.
  5. If desired, pour ½ cup of chicken broth around the edges of the crockpot.
  6. Secure the lid on your crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.

Notes

For extra depth of flavor, try adding a splash of lemon juice or a tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the garlic herb butter mixture. For crispy veggies, remove them during the last 30 minutes of cooking and broil in the oven.
