  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or chicken thighs
  • 1 lb baby red potatoes halved or quartered
  • 3 large carrots peeled and chopped
  • 1 large yellow onion chopped
  • 2 cups broccoli florets fresh or frozen
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder

Equipment

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, olive oil, thyme, rosemary, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Place the chopped potatoes, carrots, and onion in the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker. Place the chicken breasts on top of the vegetables.

  4. About 30-45 minutes before the cooking time is complete, stir in the broccoli florets. Cover and continue to cook until the broccoli is tender-crisp and the chicken is fully cooked.

Notes

Tip 1: For extra flavor, sear the chicken in a hot, oiled skillet for 2-3 minutes per side before adding to the slow cooker.
Tip 2: To thicken the sauce, remove cooked chicken and veggies. Whisk a slurry of 1 tbsp cornstarch and 2 tbsp cold water into the pot juices, then cook on high for 15 minutes.
