Slow Cooker Month: Do You Want Some Chicken?
Chicken, chicken, chicken…
It’s an all-time favorite all-year-round! It’s the one thing everyone in my family will eat without too much ado! I am sure many other families are similar.
Far be it from me to disappoint!
Besides, you may think of fall when you hear pot roast, but using a chicken and some tasty herbs turns this into a dish that works well for spring and summer too.
Use some of the leftovers to make soup the next day, or turn the leftover chicken into chicken salad.
Slow Roasted Chicken with Vegetables
Hearty Tasty Sunday Dinner
Ingredients
- 1 3 1/2 lb. chicken
- 1/2 t salt
- 1/4 t pepper
- 1 T unsalted butter
- 8 baby carrots
- 8 small boiling onions peeled
- 3/4 C chicken broth
- 1 t dried tarragon
- 1/4 t dried thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- 3 potatoes cut into 1/2 inch slices
Instructions
- Melt the butter in the skillet. Stir in the carrots and onions. Stirring often, cook for 3 minutes or until the onions are light brown. Pour the chicken broth into the skillet. Stir in the tarragon and thyme. Remove the skillet from the heat.
- Scatter the potatoes over the bottom of the crockpot. Add in the carrot onion mixture. Place the bay leaf into the mixture. Add the chicken on top.
- Cover with the lid and cook on low for 8 hours or until the juices from the chicken run clear when pierced with a fork. Transfer the chicken and the vegetables to a platter and keep warm.
- Skim the fat from the surface of the cooking liquid. Pour the liquid into a saucepan and place the pan over high heat. Bring the liquid to a brisk boil. Cook the liquid, stirring often, until it is reduced to 1 cup. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables before serving.
- Makes 4 servings
Notes
Turn this tasty dish into a warming soup. Complete the above directions through the 8 hours of cooking. Remove the chicken from the crockpot. Get rid of the skin and pull the meat from the bones. Return the meat to the crockpot. Add 8 oz. of fully cooked noodles to the crockpot. Cook until heated through, about 30 minutes then enjoy.

I have tried once to make chicken in the slow cooker and it turned out very dry, so I didn’t do it again. Maybe I did something wrong or didn’t follow the recipe very well.

This awesome idea, we sometimes do get leftover chickens and don’t know how or what to do with besides just re-heating or do simple things. I think this is new to us and might try it. Thank you for sharing it.

I have to share this with my mom. She loves using her slow cooker, even since I was a baby. I wish I could have one but they don’t sell them in the US.
