A hearty, hands-off slow cooker meal with tender chicken, soft vegetables, and a rich garlic butter sauce that delivers big comfort and flavor with minimal effort.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
  • 3 large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1 cup green beans or broccoli (added near the end)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice or chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Lightly grease the inside of the slow cooker.
  2. Add the potatoes and carrots to the bottom of the slow cooker.
  3. Place the chicken on top of the vegetables.
  4. In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
  5. Pour the garlic butter mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables.
  6. Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
  7. Add green beans or broccoli during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  8. Garnish with lemon juice or fresh parsley before serving, if desired.

Notes

  • Chicken thighs stay juicier, but breasts work well if not overcooked.
  • Add vegetables that cook faster near the end.
  • A cornstarch slurry can be added to thicken the sauce.
