1 pound baby carrots
1 cup water (or 1 cup chicken broth)

Instructions

Season the chicken, potatoes, and carrots with your chosen seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Place the potatoes and carrots in a 6-quart slow cooker and arrange the chicken on top.
Mix the water and bouillon, then pour into the slow cooker. Add crushed garlic and top the chicken with butter.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours, or on HIGH for 4 hours. Halfway through, add green beans to the liquid; for steamed beans, place them on top of the chicken.
For browned chicken thighs, broil in a cast-iron skillet until browned. For thicker gravy, add a cornstarch slurry and cook until thickened. Serve with juices and gravy.

Notes

For more flavor, try different seasonings or marinades on the chicken.
Use low-sodium broth for a healthier option and adjustable seasoning.
Feel free to add other vegetables such as bell peppers or zucchini.
