Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes (or quartered regular potatoes)
- 2 cups carrots (peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and dry the baby potatoes. If using regular potatoes, cut them into evenly sized quarters.
Peel and cut the carrots into 2-inch pieces.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a spice blend.
Rub half of the spice blend evenly over the chicken breasts.
Place the baby potatoes and carrots at the bottom of the crock pot, and toss with the remaining spice blend to coat the vegetables evenly.
Layer the seasoned chicken breasts on top of the vegetables in the crock pot.
Pour the chicken broth over the chicken and vegetables to add moisture and enhance flavor.
Cover the crock pot with the lid, and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 7-8 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and the potatoes are tender.
Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken and vegetables from the crock pot. Plate them and spoon some of the broth over the top for extra flavor.
Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the dish as a garnish before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your hearty crock pot chicken and potatoes!
