Another chicken dinner winner coming your way!

Lately, I’ve been getting back to basics with my dinner. One, because the guy eats very basic. I’m getting him to try other things, but it’s been a slow progression. And two, I have cholesterol problems.

Hard to believe someone who works out regularly and eats healthy has issues with their cholesterol being too high, but I do. Family history plays a big role in health and I’m a living example of that.

That’s not to say you can’t counteract that with diet and exercise. Mine would probably be much higher if it weren’t for that.

Thankfully my good cholesterol is so high my doctor isn’t concerned but I am. I know from nutrition school how dangerous statins (cholesterol meds) are to the body especially to the brain.

They’re linked to the development of dementia, and after what I’ve studied about them I will do everything I can to avoid ever having to take them.

Food for medicine it is! A cup of oatmeal a day, more green veggies, lowering saturated fat (sorry coconut oil) and saying a prayer that in a few months it comes down.

Not the best time of year to revamp my diet, but I HAVE to do it. PLUS I’m leaving for Mexico in a few days with the guy to celebrate my birthday so you know, there’s the whole swimsuit factor motivating me too.

So yes! Simple dinners it is right now!

This Crockpot Italian Chicken & Potatoes feels like a dinner recipe I grew up with. I have memories of eating something to this, but can’t put my finger on it. Only 5 ingredients! It’s so delicious no one believe it has such few ingredients.

Everything is cooked together in a crockpot so you can drop it in the pot before work and come home to a homemade dinner.

Mine has a timer so it shuts off to a simmer when it’s done. WINNING!

The crockpot makes the chicken so incredibly tender. I get my chicken delivered from Butcher Box. They have the BEST quality protein which is very important to health!

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts 4 ounces each
  • 1 lb. baby red potatoes washed and cubed with skin on*
  • 2 cups baby carrots
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • salt and pepper to taste
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  1. Lightly spray the inside of the crockpot with nonstick cooking spray. Add 1 cup of water.

  2. Place potatoes on the bottom of the crockpot set to high heat and sprinkle with salt.
  3. Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towel. Place them on a plate and add extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper.
  4. Rub the oil, salt and pepper into the chicken using your hands. Place the chicken in the crockpot over the potatoes. Next add the carrots and Italian seasoning.

  5. Cook on high 4-6 hours until chicken is tender and carrots and potatoes are soft.

Recipe Notes

  • Any potato can be used in the recipe. If using sweet potatoes, they may need to be removed sooner than regular potatoes as they have less starch to break down.
  • 1 serving equals 1/4 of the meal - 1 chicken breast, 1/2 cup carrots and 1/2 cup of potatoes.

    Look at all of that seasoning 🙂 Yummy! I am a firm believer in “let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” I work as an RN and see SO MANY health problems caused by poor diet. “Sir you have kidney failure and uncontrolled diabetes and your blood pressure is making my own blood pressure rise… no sir, you can’t have french fries, burger, and chips.” Good job taking the steps in the right direction!

    Mine was so dry! I only did it for 4 hours but it was incredibly dry. I am new to crock pots and cooking in general. How can I fix this for next time?

      Some crockpots get really hot and dry out the food so you can try cooking it 2-3 hours next time. I would also recommend adding some broth to the bottom of the pot. This will add steam and keep it moist while it cooks!

      I would imagine you could with half the ingredients.

    Would cooking it 6-8 hours in low be just as good?

    Can you add like mushrooms and bell peppers to this?

      You could. There isn’t a sauce with the recipe so they would steam in the crockpot with the potatoes and carrots.
