Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 cups Carrots, peeled and chopped
• 2 cups Baby potatoes, halved or quartered
• 1 cup Green beans, trimmed
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 cups Low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion and minced garlic for about 2-3 minutes, or until fragrant and slightly softened. Remove from heat.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, flour, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper to create a creamy mixture. Set aside.

Step 3

Add the chicken breasts to the bottom of your slow cooker.

Step 4

Scatter the carrots, baby potatoes, green beans, and sautéed onion mixture over the chicken.

Step 5

Pour the chicken broth evenly over the ingredients in the slow cooker.

Step 6

Spread the creamy yogurt mixture on top of the vegetables, gently smoothing it out with a spatula. Do not stir—this will allow the flavors to meld as they cook.

Step 7

Cover the slow cooker with the lid and set it to cook on low for 6 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

Step 8

Once cooking is complete, remove the chicken breasts and shred them with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir gently to combine everything.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper as desired.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley. Enjoy with whole-grain bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
