Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 pounds)
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (optional)
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, bell peppers, and zucchini), chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Begin by gathering and prepping your ingredients; set aside the chicken breasts. Slice the onion and finely chop the garlic, rosemary, thyme, and parsley.
  2. Make the Herb-Infused Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, black pepper, paprika, lemon juice, and soy sauce (if using). Mix thoroughly to create a fragrant herb-infused marinade.
  3. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and ensure they are fully coated with the marinade. For the best flavor, allow them to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or even better, overnight in the refrigerator.
  4. Layer the Onion: In the crockpot, layer the sliced onion at the bottom. This will become a sweet, aromatic base for your chicken.
  5. Place the Chicken in the Crockpot: After marinating, place the chicken breasts on top of the onion layer in the crockpot. Pour the chicken broth evenly over the chicken to keep it moist.
  6. Add the Vegetables: Sprinkle a colorful array of chopped mixed vegetables on top of the chicken.
  7. Set the Cooking Time: Cover the crockpot with its lid and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
  8. Check for Doneness: Once the cooking time is complete, check that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F.
  9. Optional Sauce Reduction: For a thicker sauce, transfer the cooking liquid to a saucepan and heat over medium until reduced to your desired consistency.
  10. Serve and Garnish: Serve the chicken topped with the vibrant vegetables and drizzle with the sauce from the crockpot. Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

Marinate the chicken overnight for richer flavor. Substitute vegetables as desired.
