Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 3 pieces Carrots (peeled, cut into chunks)
- 4 pieces Red potatoes (quartered)
- 1 piece Yellow onion (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and dried thyme on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned. This step is optional but adds extra flavor.
Place the seared (or raw) chicken breasts into the bottom of the crock pot.
Add the chicken broth to the crock pot, pouring it around the chicken breasts.
Layer the carrots, red potatoes, and sliced onion over and around the chicken.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 5-6 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken and vegetables from the crock pot. Stir the remaining liquid, which can be used as a light sauce or gravy.
Serve the chicken and vegetables on a plate or shallow bowl. Drizzle with the sauce if desired, and garnish with fresh parsley.
Enjoy your Easy Crock Pot Savory Chicken!
