2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
4 carrots, sliced
3 potatoes, cubed
2 celery stalks, chopped
4 cups chicken broth
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
Prepare the Ingredients: Start by chopping your onion, garlic, carrots, potatoes, and celery. Gather your chicken and seasonings.
Layer in the Slow Cooker: Lay the root vegetables (potatoes, carrots, celery) in the bottom of the slow cooker first. Next, place the chicken on top of the vegetables.
Add Aromatics: Sprinkle the chopped onion and minced garlic over the chicken. Then, season with thyme, salt, and pepper.
Pour in the Broth: Carefully pour the chicken broth over the ingredients, ensuring everything is covered.
Cook: Set your slow cooker to low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. The longer you let it cook, the more tender the chicken will be.
Shred Chicken (Optional): About 30 minutes before serving, shred the chicken with two forks inside the slow cooker and let it absorb more flavor.
Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Ladle into bowls and enjoy this cozy meal!
