Slow Cooker Chicken with Potatoes, and Carrots

When you’re running around all day, there’s nothing like a slow cooker to help make dinner time a little bit easier!! In the summer, it’s even more helpful!

A great thing about this recipe is that it’s not hard at all to make. I love how you can practically throw it all into that magical slow cooker and in a few hours – ta, da – you have a delicious meal waiting for every hungry stomach at the table.

This meal is also super freezer friendly, which is such a plus!!! Going on a trip and need to leave some meals behind? Whip this up and freeze it, and you’ll make everyone happy!

WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF BROWNING THE MEAT FIRST?

It may seem like an unnecessary part of the recipe and sometimes I will skip this step, but many say that it’s very important!  When you brown the meat BEFORE you lock in all the moisture and deliciousness of the meat. If you have some extra time, give it a shot to see what you think.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH SLOW COOKER CHICKEN RECIPES?

This dish is almost perfect on its own, but pairing with a delicious salad and/or some bread on the side is a perfect match!

CAN I ADD DIFFERENT SPICES?

YES!! You don’t have to stick to just these spices. If you are wanting more of a garlicy chicken, you can add in garlic and onion powder and/or minced garlic to your chicken. If you want more of a buttery chicken, you can add in more butter. Just be sure to mix it really well before you start cooking it!

I LIKE LEMONY CHICKEN. CAN I ADD IN LEMONS TO THE POT?

You can, but I would also recommend adding in lemon zest instead of full lemons so it doesn’t taste too acidic.

CAN I USE CHICKEN THIGHS INSTEAD OF CHICKEN BREASTS?

You most definitely can, especially if you like more of a dark meat. You’ll cook it just like you would the chicken breasts!

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
