Garlic Herb Slow Cooker Chicken & Vegetables

This “set it and forget it” meal features tender chicken breasts nestled between buttery gold potatoes and honey-glazed carrots, all infused with a savory garlic-herb butter.

Ingredients

  • 3 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 1 lb baby gold potatoes, halved or quartered

  • 1 lb baby carrots

  • 1/4 cup olive oil

  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tsp dried oregano

  • 1 tsp dried basil

  • 1/2 tsp onion powder

  • 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)

  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Slow Cooker: Lightly grease the inside of a 6-quart slow cooker with non-stick spray or a little olive oil.

  2. Arrange the Base: Place the chicken breasts in the center of the slow cooker. Arrange the potatoes on one side of the chicken and the baby carrots on the other side.

  3. Mix the Seasoning: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, melted butter, minced garlic, oregano, basil, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

  4. Drizzle: Pour the garlic-herb mixture evenly over the chicken, potatoes, and carrots. Use a brush or spoon to ensure the chicken is well-coated.

  5. Cook: Cover and cook on Low for 6–7 hours or on High for 3–4 hours, until the potatoes are fork-tender and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

  6. Finish and Serve: Once finished, garnish generously with fresh parsley. You can spoon the juices from the bottom over the chicken before serving to keep it extra moist.
