Chicken in a Crockpot

  • 2 carrots, sliced (I use more)
  • 2 onions, sliced
  • 2 stalks celery, cut into 1-inch pieces (I use more)
  • Several quartered potatoes if you have room
  • 1 whole broiler/fryer chicken, 3-4 lbs. (I’ve also used chicken breasts or chicken legs, which is good for smaller crockpots, or if you want more veggies)
  • 1 t. salt
  • ½ t. black pepper
  • *½-1 c. water or chicken broth
  • ½ t. dried basil
-Put carrots, onions, celery, and potatoes in bottom of crockpot. 
-Add whole chicken/chicken breasts. (I usually place some of the veggies around the chicken) 
-Top with salt, pepper, and liquid. Sprinkle basil over top. 
►Cover and cook on LOW 10 hours 
*►or HIGH 6 hours using 1 c. water.

This is for a large crockpot.  Mine is a 5-quart.  Adjust recipe for smaller crockpots.

Rebekah made the rice, and Bethany made the biscuits.  😊
