Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 2 cups diced potatoes
- 1 cup diced carrots
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 sheet puff pastry or pie crust (optional for topping)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional for sautéing)
Instructions
- Start by dicing the potatoes, carrots, and chopping the onion. Mince the garlic. Optional: sauté onion and garlic in olive oil for enhanced flavor.
- Place chicken, potatoes, carrots, onion, and garlic into the crockpot. Pour in chicken broth. Add dried thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
- Cover and cook on low 6-8 hours or high 4-6 hours, until chicken is tender and vegetables are cooked through.
- Shred the cooked chicken directly in the crockpot using two forks. If using puff pastry or pie crust, place it over the filling in the last hour of cooking or separately bake for crispiness.
- Add frozen peas, stir, and let heat through. If using pastry, add it on top and bake until golden. Serve hot with side salad or crusty bread.
Notes
- You can sauté the onion and garlic before adding to enhance flavor, but it’s optional for a quick prep.
- If the filling is too runny, thicken with a slurry of cornstarch or flour mixed with water.
- For a crispy crust, bake the pastry separately and add before serving.
- Customize vegetables and herbs to suit your taste preferences.
