Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by placing 2 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of your spacious crockpot. Ensure even spacing to allow for consistent cooking.
  2. Next, gently top the chicken with 1 lb of fresh baby carrots and 1 lb of Yukon Gold potato wedges, ensuring uniform coverage.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine ½ cup of melted salted butter with 3 tablespoons of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon each of dried thyme and parsley, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper. Stir until well blended.
  4. Evenly pour the delicious garlic herb mixture over the layered chicken and veggies in the crockpot.
  5. If desired, pour ½ cup of chicken broth around the edges of the crockpot.
  6. Cover your crockpot and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
  7. Once cooked, carefully remove the lid and gently stir to combine the flavors. Spoon out portions onto plates.
