Description
A comforting slow cooker meal featuring tender chicken, buttery garlic, and savory vegetables, perfect for chilly evenings and busy weeknights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken tenders
- 1 lb baby carrots
- 1 1/2 lbs Yukon gold potatoes, cut into wedges
- 1/2 cup salted butter, melted
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp dried thyme leaves
- 1 tsp dried parsley
Instructions
- Place the chicken in the center of your slow cooker. Arrange the potato wedges on one side and scatter the baby carrots on the other.
- In a bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, salt, pepper, thyme, and parsley.
- Pour the garlic butter mixture over the chicken and vegetables.
- Cover and cook on HIGH for 4 hours or LOW for 6 to 8 hours.
- Check for doneness; the chicken should reach 165°F, and the vegetables should be tender.
- If desired, broil for 3 to 5 minutes for a crispy finish.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice or shred and serve hot with buttery pan juices.
Notes
For richer flavor, swap chicken tenders for chicken thighs or use unsalted butter with added salt for more control over sodium. For convenience, prepare potatoes and carrots in advance and refrigerate.
