Harvest Chicken & Potatoes

I got this recipe from the magazine but I believe you can find it on their website familycircle.com

Makes:6 servings

Prep: 20 Min

SLOW COOK: 5 hrs on HIGH or 7 hrs LOW

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into 1-inch pieces

3 TBS flour

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

12 ounces small red potatoes, scrubbed and halved

2 cups baby carrots, cut into thirds

2 celery stalks cut into 1/2 inch pieces

1 large onion chopped

1 can (4 oz) sliced mushrooms, drained

2 cloves garlic, minced

3/4 tsp dried thyme

1/2 tsp dried sage

1 cup low-sodium chicken broth

1 TBS unsalted butter, softened

1)In a medium bowl stir together chicken, 2 TBS flour, 1/4 tsp of the salt and pepper; add to slow cooker. Stir in potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, mushrooms, garlic, 1/2 tsp of the thyme, the sage and broth. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6 hours.

2)In a small bowl, stir together remaining 1 TBS four and the butter until a paste forms. Push the chicken and veggies to one side and whisk paste, remaining 1/4 teaspoon of both salt and thyme into the slow cooker. Cook one more hour or until thickened.

It was a lot more tasty than the picture makes it look :) I don't have unsalted butter so I used normal butter and normal chicken broth (but I love salt!). I also didn't add celery because I detest it. Lastly my crock pot seems to burn everything I cook in it so I added more broth than it called for and it turned out great. Zach even ate everything but the potatoes from his bowl.
