Ingredients
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 lb Yukon gold potatoes
4 medium carrots
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
Wash the potatoes and carrots thoroughly under cold running water.
Peel the carrots and chop them into uniform one-inch thick rounds.
Dice the potatoes into equal cubes.
Place the prepared carrots and potatoes at the bottom of the slow cooker insert.
Arrange the chicken thighs in a single layer on top of the vegetables.
Whisk the chicken broth, dried thyme, and garlic powder together in a small bowl.
Pour the liquid mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables.
Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 6 hours.
Check the vegetables for tenderness with a fork.
Shred the chicken directly in the pot using two forks and serve immediately.
Notes
Ensure potatoes are diced into uniform pieces to ensure they cook at the same rate as the carrots. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Use low-sodium broth to keep the sodium levels controlled.
