This recipe comes from Tamra Knapp, a registered dietitian who works for Mary Washington Healthcare.

Ingredients:

1-2 pounds of bone-in chicken (depending on family size)

6 Potatoes, peeled, cut in half

1 bag baby carrots

1 ½ cups chicken stock (can use bouillon cubes as well, and can lower the sodium content by getting stock with no salt added)

Directions:

Place chicken in crock pot, add potatoes and carrots.  Pour stock over.

Cook on low in crock pot for 6-8 hours. Voila.

Cook’s notes:

When chicken is on sale, this is a great meal to make. You can use chicken thighs and other bone in pieces that are usually cheaper.  Minimal prep, and great taste!
