Crock-Pot Easy Herb Chicken and Veggies
Like most parents I find dinner sometimes complicated to plan, even if I am using my Crock-Pot to get ahead of the game. Sometimes I just don’t have time to find 15 ingredients, or cook meat ahead of time, or chop veggies (okay it’s pretty hard to get out of chopping any veggies at all, but I still make it easy on myself)!
We got invited by Crock-Pot (yes THAT Crock-Pot) to join in a recipe contest. They send a brand new 6 Qt. Crock-Pot and a variety of their brand new, barely out in the stores, Crock-Pot Mixes, and we make a recipe from one of those mixes. So I excitedly waited for my new Crock-Pot to come and it was worth the wait! I already have 3 Crock-Pots but none of them are programmable (in fact one of them I can’t even put in the dishwasher, so it got designated to go hang in the basement). I was quite excited to try the new one out. The stoneware crock and lid are dishwasher safe, which automatically makes me happy! The programming is very easy to understand and it worked great. Basically if your going to cook for 8 hours, you push the select button until the light is showing on 8 hours. What is nice, is that instead of my ordinary Crock-Pots that then continue to keep cooking on low until I come and turn it off, this one then moves to warm and stops cooking it after those 8 hours, yet keeps the food warm. I am very prone to forgetting to check the Crock after so many hours, so for something to stop it from scorching and just keep it warm until we are ready to eat is fabulous! Not only will this work out great for dinner time, frankly if you put a dish together the night before, for breakfast, it will be fabulously warm in the morning, but not burned. You have 5 choices to choose from: 4 hours, 6 hours (high), 8 hours, 10 hours (low) and warm. Once the designated time is over, it moves the heat temperature to warm. This also means, if your unsure if your dish will be done after 8 hours, it would be best to put it at 10 and check on it when you can.
Now for the mixes, I was sent all 6 which included: Savory Herb Chicken, Hearty Beef Stew, Original Chili, Savory Pot Roast, BBQ Pulled Pork, and Beef Stroganoff. I choose to make a recipe using the Savory Herb Chicken seasoning mix, as it was a bit more unique for what we have done here at Crock Pot Ladies vs Pulled Pork or Chili. The nice thing with Seasoning mixes is it’s easy to know how much seasonings one should use, and dried seasonings actually work better in Crock-Pots when placed with the rest of the ingredients. Fresh herbs work better when you place them within a short time of serving. Since this dish is made in layers, dried herbs will work much better. The dish was easy to put together, and we found it very delicious. We ate it all up within 2 days, which is pretty good for my little ones. I can’t wait to try out the rest of the mixes!

Ingredients
Servings:
|
|
- I always use a liner for an easy clean up.
- Spray lightly with cooking spray to keep the chicken from sticking.
- Mix the Crock-Pot Savory Herb Chicken Seasoning Mix with 5 Tablespoons of olive oil, then set aside.
- Salt each individual chicken breast, before laying down in the crock with the first layer using half of the chicken.
- Once you have your layer of chicken down, brush some of the olive oil seasoning mixture onto the chicken using a pastry brush.
- Cover chicken with one bowl of the chopped garlic, and onion.
- Lay down the other half of the chicken breasts, salting as you lay them on top of the onions.
- Use your pasty brush and brush more olive oil seasoning mixture onto the chicken.
- Place the other bowl of chopped garlic and onions.
- Place your layer of carrots.
- Place your layer of sliced potatoes.
- Spread around the diced roma tomatoes.
- Add one more tablespoon of oil to the seasoning mix, stir well and then spread on top of the veggies.
- Cook on low for 8 hours.
- Do not add water, you have plenty of water from the veggies and oil.

I would love to try the Hearty Beef Stew…or any of the mixes for that matter. As a single mom to two special needs girls and very little help, crock pot cooking is like a ‘mini vacation’ for me not having to worry about cooking a meal with my busy life! These would be great to use!

As a healthcare worker, I work long hours and often don’t have much time to prepare a healthy meal. Using my crock pot ensures I have supper waiting when I get home. This gives me more time to rest my aching feet after a long day! 🙂
I think all the flavors of the new mixes sound tasty. In our kitchen, my husband and I always “tweak” recipes and prepared mixes to our liking, and I’m sure we would find a way to make these mixes work for us!
I raised my family with crock pot meals. Every married couple needs at least one!

I’m learning to use a crock pot along with my two daughters and sharing recipes with a couple single guy friends of my daughters and a couple friends with large families. I’m up to trying any of the seasonings-they all sound yummy! I also have the “old school” crock that doesn’t have a removeable insert. A programmable one sounds sweet to use!!
I use my crockpot for meals during the week, so easy to have a meal prepared after a long day at work.
