  • 1 lb carrots, peeled and chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup chicken broth (low sodium)
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • Flavor Builders:
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Seasonings:
  • 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Finishing Touches:
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prep Veggies: First, gather your ingredients. Halve baby potatoes, chop carrots into 1-inch pieces, mince garlic, and chop the onion. This careful prep makes cooking your Slow Cooker Garlic Butter Chicken and Veggies a breeze.
  2. Make Butter Sauce: In a bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, dried thyme, kosher salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Whisk well to emulsify these flavors into a fragrant garlic butter sauce.
  3. Combine & Load: Arrange chicken thighs, potatoes, and carrots in your slow cooker. Pour the garlic butter mixture over everything, then add chicken broth. Toss gently to ensure all components are coated for the best Slow Cooker Garlic Butter Chicken and Veggies.
  4. Slow Cook: Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours, until chicken is tender and vegetables are easily pierced. Avoid peeking too often to maintain heat for perfect results.
  5. Thicken Sauce: Whisk cornstarch with a tablespoon of cold water to create a slurry. Stir this into the slow cooker liquid, then add heavy cream. Cook on high for 15-20 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken beautifully.
  6. Finish Dish: Once the sauce has thickened, stir in the fresh chopped parsley. This vibrant herb adds a burst of freshness and color, completing your comforting Slow Cooker Garlic Butter Chicken and Veggies beautifully.

Notes

Avoid lifting the slow cooker lid frequently to maintain consistent heat and prevent dry chicken and extended cook times.

Store leftover Slow Cooker Garlic Butter Chicken and Veggies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.

Boneless, skinless chicken breasts can be substituted for thighs, but monitor cooking time to prevent them from drying out.

Serve this comforting dish warm, garnished with fresh parsley, alongside a crisp green salad or crusty bread.

Chop vegetables and mince garlic 1-2 days ahead, keeping them chilled until you are ready to assemble and cook.
