Peel and chop the carrots and potatoes into bite-size chunks. Dice the celery and onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper, then sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
In the crock pot, add the carrots, potatoes, celery, onion, and garlic in an even layer at the bottom.
Place the seared chicken breasts on top of the vegetables.
In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Pour the mixture over the chicken and vegetables in the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot with a lid and cook on LOW for 8 hours or on HIGH for 4 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through, and the vegetables are soft.
Once cooked, taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the chicken and vegetables hot, drizzling some of the remaining broth over the top for extra flavor. Enjoy!
