Description

This dish features fall-apart chicken paired with buttery potatoes soaked in aromatic broth.
The herbs—rosemary and thyme—release their flavors slowly, creating a rich, rustic, and comforting
meal that requires minimal effort. Perfect for weeknights or cozy weekends.

Tips

• Broil the chicken for 3–4 minutes at the end for crispier skin.
• Add carrots, celery, or green beans for more vegetables.
• Stir in heavy cream or cream cheese for a creamier finish.
• Fresh herbs add more vibrant flavor, but dried herbs work well too.
• Don’t skip the butter—it adds richness and smoothness.

Correction

If the dish is too watery, remove the chicken and potatoes and simmer the liquid on the stove
for 5–7 minutes to thicken. You can also add a cornstarch slurry (1 tsp cornstarch mixed with
cold water).
If it’s too salty, add a splash of water, more potatoes, or a squeeze of lemon juice.

Enjoy!

Serve your Slow Cooker Herb-Infused Chicken and Potatoes with warm bread, a fresh salad, or steamed
vegetables. Enjoy a hearty, flavorful dish with minimal preparation!
