Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1.5 pounds Baby potatoes
- 4 pieces Carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and pat dry the chicken breasts. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, paprika, thyme, and rosemary.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Wash the baby potatoes and cut any large ones in half to ensure even cooking. Peel and chop the carrots into bite-sized chunks. Dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In a crock pot, layer the baby potatoes and carrots at the bottom. Sprinkle the diced onion and minced garlic evenly over the vegetables.
Place the seared chicken breasts on top of the vegetables in the crock pot.
Pour 2 cups of chicken broth over the chicken and vegetables, ensuring the broth covers the bottom of the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low heat for 6-7 hours, or on high heat for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked (165°F internal temperature) and the vegetables are tender.
Once done, taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed. Serve warm with the vegetables and broth spooned over the chicken.
