Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs skinless
  • 5 lbs baby red potatoes quartered
  • 1 lb whole carrots peeled chunks
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning dried
  • 1 tsp salt fine
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper ground
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley garnish
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth low-sodium

Method
 

Main Instructions
  1. Arrange the protein and vegetables by placing the chicken, potatoes, and carrots into the base of the slow cooker.
  2. Prepare the savory sauce by combining the melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and chicken broth in a small mixing bowl.
  3. Whisk the garlic butter mixture until the spices are well distributed throughout the liquid.
  4. Pour the garlic butter sauce evenly over the chicken and vegetables in the slow cooker.
  5. Stir the ingredients gently with a large spoon to ensure every piece is thoroughly coated in the herb butter.
  6. Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on the LOW setting for 6 to 7 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours.
  7. Test the chicken with a fork to ensure it is tender and the potatoes are soft before serving.
  8. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the dish for a pop of color and serve hot.

Notes

For the best results, use baby red potatoes as they hold their shape during the long cooking process without becoming mushy. If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can whisk a teaspoon of cornstarch into the broth before adding it to the butter. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days, though the potatoes are best enjoyed immediately for the ideal texture.
