This incredibly simple recipe transforms humble ingredients into a comforting and flavorful meal with minimal effort.

The magic happens in your slow cooker, gently melding the flavors together while you go about your day. At the heart of this dish are tender chicken breasts, which become incredibly succulent as they simmer in the slow cooker. The seasoning is delicate, designed to enhance the natural flavor of the chicken rather than overpower it.

Fresh tarragon, with its subtle anise-like notes, infuses the chicken with a bright, herbaceous character. Thin slices of lemon add a zesty counterpoint, their citrusy essence permeating every bite. The lemon not only brightens the flavor profile but also helps to keep the chicken incredibly moist.

Complementing the chicken is a colorful assortment of vegetables, creating a complete and satisfying meal. Carrots provide a touch of sweetness and a pleasingly soft texture, while potatoes offer a hearty, earthy element that soaks up all the delicious juices. Onions, as they slowly cook, mellow and sweeten, adding depth and complexity to the overall flavor.

The vegetables become wonderfully tender, their individual flavors harmonizing beautifully with the chicken and herbs. This slow-cooked chicken and vegetable medley is a true testament to the power of simple ingredients and slow cooking. It's a dish that nourishes both body and soul, offering a comforting and flavorful experience with every spoonful.

The chicken is incredibly tender and flavorful, the vegetables are perfectly cooked, and the overall aroma is simply divine.

Instructions

    1.
    Butterfly the chicken breasts and pound them flat to less than a 1-inch thickness.
    2.
    Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of a crock pot. It's okay if the chicken overlaps slightly. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and onion powder over the chicken. Distribute fresh tarragon leaves over the chicken. Arrange lemon slices on top, adding small pieces of butter.
    3.
    Lay the thawed vegetable medley mix over the chicken. Sprinkle the remaining seasonings over the vegetables.
    4.
    Cook the crock pot on high for 4 hours, or on low for 6-8 hours. Mix the ingredients together to distribute the butter and seasonings before serving hot!
