Ingredients

Scale

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs
2 cups mixed vegetables (carrots, potatoes, onions)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup chicken broth
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp dried thyme
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Brown the Chicken: Sear the chicken in a pan for extra flavor (optional).
Sauté the Vegetables: Lightly cook onions, carrots, and potatoes until slightly softened.
Layer Ingredients in Crockpot: Place chicken at the bottom, followed by vegetables, and pour in the chicken broth. Add tomato paste, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Slow Cook: Cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours until the chicken is tender.
Make the Gravy: Remove chicken, mash some vegetables into the broth to thicken, or mix a cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water) for a thicker gravy.
Serve: Shred or slice the chicken and mix with the rich gravy. Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.

Notes

For extra flavor, use bone-in chicken instead of boneless.
Prefer a creamier texture? Add ½ cup heavy cream or milk at the end.
For a low-carb version, serve over cauliflower mash instead of potatoes.
Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
