- 1 large onion, sliced
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp dried thyme or rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- While the chicken cooks, chop baby potatoes in half and slice the onion into thin wedges. Mince the garlic.
- In the crockpot, layer the potatoes at the bottom, followed by onions and minced garlic. Place the seared chicken on top and pour in the chicken broth.
