If you love coming home to dinner already cooked, this easy Crockpot Chicken and Vegetables is one to keep in your recipe box. Everything goes into the slow cooker, the chicken becomes tender, and the vegetables soak up all that savory flavor.

🥕 Ingredients

• 2½–3 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
• 1½ lbs baby potatoes, halved
• 4 large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
• 1 medium onion, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1½ cups chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons cold water

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Crockpot

Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker.

Place the potatoes, carrots, and sliced onion in the bottom.

2. Season the Chicken

Pat the chicken dry with paper towels.

Season both sides with salt, pepper, paprika, thyme, parsley, and onion powder.

Place the chicken on top of the vegetables.

3. Add the Flavor

Sprinkle the minced garlic over everything.

Pour the chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce around the chicken.

Drizzle the olive oil over the top.

4. Slow Cook

Cover and cook:

• LOW: 6–7 hours
• HIGH: 3–4 hours

Cook until the chicken reaches a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender.

5. Make the Gravy

When everything is cooked, carefully remove the chicken and vegetables.

Pour the cooking liquid into a small saucepan.

Mix the cornstarch with cold water until smooth.

Whisk it into the cooking liquid and simmer for a few minutes until thickened.

Alternatively, you can make the slurry directly in the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for several minutes until the sauce thickens.

6. Serve

Return the chicken to the crockpot or place it on a serving platter with the vegetables.

Spoon the savory gravy over everything.

Serve warm with crusty bread, biscuits, or a simple green salad. 🥖🥗

⭐ Tips for the Best Crockpot Meal

Use chicken thighs for extra tenderness. They stay particularly juicy during slow cooking.

Don’t overcrowd the slow cooker. Leave enough room for the heat to circulate properly.

Cut vegetables into similar-sized pieces. This helps them cook more evenly.

Don’t keep opening the lid. Every time you remove the lid, heat escapes and cooking takes longer.

Want extra flavor? Brown the chicken in a skillet for a few minutes before adding it to the crockpot. It’s optional, but it adds a delicious roasted flavor.

🧊 Leftovers

Allow leftovers to cool promptly and refrigerate them in airtight containers. Enjoy within 3–4 days, or freeze for longer storage.

This meal also reheats beautifully, making it a great make-ahead crockpot dinner for busy weeknights.

❤️ Easy, Cozy, and Family-Friendly

Tender chicken, buttery potatoes, sweet carrots, onions, garlic, and rich savory gravy—all cooked together in one pot.

Put it in the crockpot in the morning, and dinner is waiting for you later. That’s the beauty of a good crockpot meal! 🍲❤️
