Step-by-Step Instructions

  5. Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on LOW for about 6 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours.
  6. Once cooked, turn off the slow cooker and let it sit covered for 10 minutes.
  7. Spoon the chicken and vegetables onto plates, drizzling the garlic butter sauce generously over everything.
  8. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
