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, quartered baby red potatoes, and peeled, chunked carrots directly into the slow cooker, making sure they are evenly distributed.
- Mix the Garlic Butter Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and chicken broth until well combined.
- Pour and Coat: Pour the garlic butter mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables in the slow cooker. Gently stir to ensure all pieces are coated with the flavorful sauce.
- Set It and Forget It: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on LOW setting for 6 to 7 hours, or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
- Finish and Serve: Once cooked, optionally garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve the garlic butter chicken hot for a comforting and hearty meal.
Notes
- Using chicken thighs will yield more tender, juicy results, but chicken breasts work well too.
- If baby red potatoes are unavailable, use any small, waxy potatoes, quartered.
- Adjust seasoning to taste before serving, especially salt and pepper.
- For a thicker sauce, you can remove the lid in the last 30 minutes to allow some liquid to reduce.
- Garnish with parsley adds a fresh color and flavor contrast, but it is optional.
