Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil for drizzling
- 1 tablespoon of dried rosemary leaves
- 6 medium-sized potatoes sliced into thick coins
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon of ground black pepper
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breast fillets
- 1 tablespoon of dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon of onion powder
- ½ cup of low-sodium chicken stock
- 1 teaspoon of kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter diced into small chunks
Instructions
- Layer the sliced potatoes evenly across the bottom of the slow cooker insert, allowing the edges to overlap slightly for uniform cooking.
- Drizzle the olive oil across the potato slices and sprinkle with half of the measured salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Arrange the chicken breast fillets directly over the potatoes, pressing down gently to ensure contact with the seasoning.
- Dust the top of the chicken with the remaining salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to ensure full coverage.
- Distribute the dried rosemary and thyme over both the chicken and potatoes, ensuring an even spread of herbs.
- Carefully pour the chicken broth along the outer perimeter of the slow cooker, avoiding direct contact with the chicken.
- Scatter the butter pieces evenly across the surface of the chicken and potatoes to allow gradual melting during cooking.
- Secure the lid on the slow cooker and cook on the LOW setting for 6 to 7 hours, or choose the HIGH setting for a 3 to 4-hour cook time, until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and the potatoes have softened.
- Once finished, remove the chicken and potatoes gently from the cooker and plate immediately while hot.
