Step-by-Step Instructions

Start by patting the chicken dry using paper towels. Sear the chicken in a skillet over medium-high heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
In your slow cooker, add the butter and minced garlic. Then layer in the chicken followed by the potatoes and carrots.
Sprinkle salt and pepper over the ingredients and pour in the chicken broth.
Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on LOW for 6 hours or HIGH for 4 hours.
Once cooked, let it rest for about 10 minutes and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
