Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 3 pieces Carrots (peeled, cut into chunks)
• 4 pieces Red potatoes (quartered)
• 1 piece Yellow onion (sliced)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and dried thyme on both sides.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned. This step is optional but adds extra flavor.

Step 3

Place the seared (or raw) chicken breasts into the bottom of the crock pot.

Step 4

Add the chicken broth to the crock pot, pouring it around the chicken breasts.

Step 5

Layer the carrots, red potatoes, and sliced onion over and around the chicken.

Step 6

Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 5-6 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).

Step 7

Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken and vegetables from the crock pot. Stir the remaining liquid, which can be used as a light sauce or gravy.

Step 8

Serve the chicken and vegetables on a plate or shallow bowl. Drizzle with the sauce if desired, and garnish with fresh parsley.

Step 9

Enjoy your Easy Crock Pot Savory Chicken!
