Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 to 2 lbs)
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes (or Yukon gold, halved if large)
- 3 medium carrots (peeled and sliced)
- 1 medium onion (chopped)
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- Salt – to taste
- Black pepper – to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- (or mixed herbs) –1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- (Optional) Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
- Rinse the baby potatoes and cut them in half if they are larger than bite-sized. Peel and slice the carrots into rounds. Chop the onion.
- Place the chopped onions at the bottom of your crock pot as they will act as a base layer. Add halved baby potatoes next, followed by sliced carrots.
- Season all vegetables with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and paprika. Place chicken breasts on top of the seasoned vegetables.
- Pour one cup of chicken broth over everything in your crock pot ensuring that it covers some of the ingredients but does not completely submerge them.
- Cover with lid and set your crock pot to cook on low for about 6–8 hours or high for 4–5 hours.
- Check that chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach at least 165°F). The vegetables should be tender when pierced with a fork.
- Before serving, you can sprinkle fresh parsley over the dish for color and flavor enhancement.
