This Garlic Butter Chicken Crockpot Recipe is a comforting, all-in-one meal with tender chicken, hearty potatoes, and sweet carrots slow-cooked in a rich garlic butter sauce. Perfect for busy days, it delivers a warm and satisfying dinner with minimal effort.

Ingredients

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs

1.5 lbs baby red potatoes, quartered

1 lb whole carrots, peeled and cut into chunks

6 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

1 tbsp Italian seasoning

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

1/2 cup chicken broth

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken, quartered potatoes, and chopped carrots into the slow cooker.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and chicken broth. Stir until well blended.
  3. Pour the garlic butter mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables. Gently stir to coat everything evenly.
  4. Cover with the lid and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  5. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve hot with the buttery sauce spooned over the top.

Notes

  • Swap chicken breasts for boneless thighs for extra richness and tenderness.
  • Add green beans or broccoli during the last hour of cooking to prevent overcooking.
  • Sprinkle grated Parmesan over the top before serving for added flavor.
  • Use sweet potatoes instead of red potatoes for a sweeter variation.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
