Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken tenders or chicken breasts
  • 1 lb baby carrots
  • 1.5 lbs Yukon gold potatoes cut into wedges
  • 0.5 cup salted butter melted
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic or 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves not ground
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley

Equipment

  • Slow Cooker
  • measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • mixing bowl
  • cutting board
  • knife

Method
 

  1. Place chicken tenders in the center of your slow cooker. Arrange potato wedges on one side and scatter baby carrots on the other side.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, salt, pepper, thyme, and parsley. Whisk until well mixed.
  3. Pour the garlic butter mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables in the slow cooker, ensuring everything is well coated.
  4. Cover slow cooker with lid. Cook on HIGH for 4 hours or LOW for 6-8 hours until chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature and vegetables are fork-tender.
  5. Let rest for 5 minutes after cooking. Serve hot and enjoy.

Notes

For extra flavor, brown chicken in a skillet before slow cooking. Feel free to add green beans, bell peppers, or zucchini. Fresh herbs can be used in place of dried (use 3 times the amount). Can use frozen chicken but increase LOW cooking time by at least 1 hour.
