Description

This comforting Butter Chicken and Veggies recipe combines tender boneless chicken tenders, baby carrots, and Yukon gold potatoes slow-cooked in a luscious garlic butter sauce with aromatic herbs. Perfect for an easy, hearty meal that requires minimal prep and delivers maximum flavor, this dish is ideal for busy days when you want a warm, wholesome dinner waiting for you.

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 1 1/2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken tenders (boneless skinless chicken breasts can be substituted)

Vegetables

  • 1 lb. baby carrots
  • 1 1/2 lbs. Yukon gold potatoes, cut into wedges

Butter Sauce

  • 1/2 cup salted butter, melted
  • 1 Tbsp. minced garlic (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper
  • 1 tsp. dried thyme leaves (not ground)
  • 1 tsp. dried parsley

Instructions

  1. Arrange Ingredients in Slow Cooker: Place the chicken tenders in the center of the slow cooker. Arrange the potato wedges on one side and the baby carrots on the other side, creating an even distribution of ingredients for consistent cooking.
  2. Prepare Butter Mixture: In a small mixing bowl, combine the melted salted butter, minced garlic (or garlic powder), salt, pepper, dried thyme, and dried parsley. Mix well to blend all the flavors evenly.
  3. Pour Butter Mixture Over Ingredients: Evenly drizzle the prepared butter sauce over the chicken and vegetables inside the slow cooker, making sure everything is coated with the flavorful mixture.
  4. Cook on Slow Cooker: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on HIGH for 4 hours or on LOW for 6 to 8 hours. The slow cooking method will tenderize the chicken and vegetables while infusing them with buttery herb flavor.
  5. Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the lid, serve the butter chicken and veggies hot, and enjoy this comforting and hearty meal.
