Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved
  • 4 large carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prepare the garlic butter sauce by combining melted butter, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  2. Place the halved potatoes and carrot pieces in the bottom of your crock pot. Pour half of the garlic butter sauce over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly.
  3. Arrange the chicken breasts on top of the vegetables. Pour the remaining garlic butter sauce over the chicken, making sure each piece is well coated.
  4. Pour the chicken broth around the edges of the crock pot, being careful not to wash the seasoning off the chicken.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. For extra flavor, you can spoon some of the cooking liquid over each serving.

Notes

Use baby potatoes as they hold their shape well during long cooking. Don't skip fresh garlic for authentic flavor. For crispy potatoes, transfer to baking sheet and broil for 2-3 minutes after cooking. Works well with other root vegetables like parsnips or sweet potatoes.
