Step-by-Step Instructions

Place 4 boneless chicken breasts at the bottom of your crockpot, ensuring they are spread out evenly.
Mince 4-5 cloves of fresh garlic and sprinkle them over the chicken. Chop your choice of vegetables and arrange them around the chicken.
Melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter and drizzle it over the chicken and vegetables. Season with salt and pepper.
Cover the crockpot and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours.
If desired, add 1/2 cup of heavy cream or cream cheese during the last 15-20 minutes of cooking.
Once finished, remove the lid and allow the chicken to cool slightly before serving.
