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

  1. Prep the Ingredients: Toss the chicken breasts or thighs, quartered baby red potatoes, and peeled, chunked carrots into the crockpot or slow cooker, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  2. Mix the Garlic Butter Sauce: In a bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and chicken broth. Mix well until fully blended.
  3. Pour and Coat: Pour the garlic butter mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables inside the slow cooker, then gently stir to coat all ingredients thoroughly with the flavorful sauce.
  4. Set It and Forget It: Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on LOW setting for 6 to 7 hours, or on HIGH setting for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
  5. Finish and Serve: Once done, garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Plate the garlic butter chicken with the cooked vegetables and enjoy a hearty, soul-warming meal.

Notes

  • You can use either chicken breasts or thighs depending on your preference; thighs tend to be more juicy and flavorful.
  • Make sure to cut potatoes and carrots into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
  • If you do not have Italian seasoning, a blend of dried basil, oregano, and thyme works well as a substitute.
  • For a thicker sauce, you can remove the lid in the last 30 minutes to allow some liquid to evaporate.
  • Garnishing with fresh parsley not only adds color but also a fresh herbal note to the dish.
