Chicken Pot Roast

From the Fix-It and Forget-It Big Cookbook
Prep: 10-15 minutes
Cooking Time: 3-4 hours
Ideal Slow Cooker Size: 4-5-quart
Makes: 4 servings

Ingredients:
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 4-6 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 2 cups lima beans, fresh or frozen
  • 1 cup water
Directions:
  1. Salt and pepper chicken breasts. Use garlic salt if you wish. Place chicken in slow cooker and start cooking on High.
  2. Prepare carrots and place on top of chicken. Add limas on top. Pour water over all.
  3. Cover and cook on Low 3-4 hours, or until chicken and vegetables are tender but not dry or mushy.
  4. This is good served over rice.
After I followed this recipe and poured the water in, I realized that this recipe would probably be much more flavorful if it called for chicken broth so if I make this again, I'm going to try that. I also put other vegetables in besides carrots and lima beans. I like lima beans all right, but how can you call this "pot roast" without potatoes and onions and any of the other things that you would normally put in with a beef pot roast?
