Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1.5 pounds Baby potatoes
• 4 pieces Carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash and pat dry the chicken breasts. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, paprika, thyme, and rosemary.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Wash the baby potatoes and cut any large ones in half to ensure even cooking. Peel and chop the carrots into bite-sized chunks. Dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

In a crock pot, layer the baby potatoes and carrots at the bottom. Sprinkle the diced onion and minced garlic evenly over the vegetables.

Step 5

Place the seared chicken breasts on top of the vegetables in the crock pot.

Step 6

Pour 2 cups of chicken broth over the chicken and vegetables, ensuring the broth covers the bottom of the crock pot.

Step 7

Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low heat for 6-7 hours, or on high heat for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked (165°F internal temperature) and the vegetables are tender.

Step 8

Once done, taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed. Serve warm with the vegetables and broth spooned over the chicken.
