Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 medium-sized yellow onion
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes
- 1 pound baby carrots
- 4 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion. Mince the garlic. Wash the baby potatoes and carrots thoroughly. Set everything aside.
In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and paprika. Rub this spice mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
Layer the sliced onions at the bottom of the crockpot, followed by the minced garlic. Add the baby potatoes and baby carrots on top.
Place the seared chicken breasts over the vegetables. Nestle the rosemary sprigs between the chicken pieces.
In a measuring cup, mix the chicken broth and lemon juice. Pour this mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables in the crockpot.
Cover the crockpot with the lid, and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Carefully remove the rosemary sprigs before serving. Plate the chicken along with the vegetables, drizzling some of the cooking liquid over for added flavor.
Garnish with additional fresh rosemary if desired, and serve hot.
