Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 medium Carrots, peeled and sliced
- 3 stalks Celery, chopped
- 1.5 pounds Baby potatoes, halved
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 cups Chicken broth, low-sodium
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Butter, unsalted
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the vegetables by peeling and slicing the carrots, chopping the celery, halving the baby potatoes, and dicing the onion.
In a Crock Pot, layer the carrots, celery, baby potatoes, onion, and minced garlic.
Season the chicken breasts with paprika, salt, and black pepper, then place them on top of the vegetables in the Crock Pot.
Sprinkle dried thyme and rosemary over the chicken and vegetables.
Pour the chicken broth over the contents of the Crock Pot.
Cover and cook on low heat for 5-6 hours or until the chicken is tender and cooked through, and the vegetables are soft.
Once the cooking is done, remove the chicken and vegetables from the Crock Pot and keep them warm.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour to form a roux, cooking for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.
Gradually whisk the heavy cream into the roux, then slowly add 1-2 cups of the liquid from the Crock Pot to create a smooth gravy. Stir consistently to prevent lumps.
Cook the gravy for 3-4 minutes over medium heat until it thickens to your desired consistency. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the chicken and vegetables on a plate and drizzle the creamy vegetable gravy over the top.
Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve hot.
