3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon dried thyme

Instructions:
Prepare the Ingredients:
Place the baby potatoes, carrots, and onions at the bottom of the slow cooker. Add the chicken breasts on top of the vegetables.
Season the Chicken:
Drizzle olive oil over the chicken breasts and sprinkle with dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Add the minced garlic to the slow cooker for extra flavor.
Add Broth and Cook:
Pour the chicken broth over the ingredients in the slow cooker, ensuring everything is coated. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
Add Tomatoes:
About 30 minutes before serving, add the halved cherry tomatoes to the slow cooker and cook until they are softened and release their juices.
Serve and Garnish:
Once done, shred the chicken with a fork or slice it into thick pieces. Serve the chicken with the vegetables and broth. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of color and freshness.
Serving Suggestions: This dish pairs perfectly with steamed rice, crusty bread, or a fresh green salad to complete your meal. It’s a great family dinner option or a meal prep idea for busy days.
Tips:
You can substitute the chicken breasts with thighs for a juicier cut of meat.
Add any other vegetables like peas, corn, or green beans to customize your dish.
