I’m a busy mom. Between caring for my daughter, walking my dog, and doing household chores, I have a lot on my plate.
Naturally, I want to minimize the amount of time I spend in the kitchen. And as summer weather approaches, I want to cook even less to keep our house from overheating.
Slow cooker dinners are my favorite fallback whenever I don’t want to cook. I simply dump everything into the Crock-Pot, turn it on, and let it sit all day. By the time dinner rolls around, everything comes out soft, perfect, and delicious.
Slow cooker chicken, potatoes, and carrots, in particular, are my favorite because they require minimal preparation for maximum flavor.
Better still, slow cooker chicken and potatoes is ridiculously cheap per serving. I buy frozen chicken breasts in bulk from Costco, and potatoes and carrots are easy to find for a low-price just about anywhere.
On a happy note, it’s fairly calorie friendly. I can easily feed my family and keep everyone full while still being healthy. And I can make it in advance, freeze it, and thaw it later to make things even easier for myself.
So it’s a win-win all around.
Whenever I’m in a meal-prep mode, this recipe comes back again and again because of how easy and cheap it is to make for my whole family. But I’m always open to suggestions. Do you add different seasonings? Do you swap out of the cream of chicken soup for cream of mushroom soup? Perhaps you add onions in with your carrots and potatoes?

Can I use a whole chicken
Hey Angela, I personally prefer boneless skinless chicken because it requires less prep time and it fits in my Crock-Pot with all the veggies. I don't see whole chicken cooking properly with enough space for so the extras. There might be a similar recipe out there that calls for whole chicken but not this one.
Do you add water to the can of soup?
No need! There is enough moisture from the soup once things start heating. However, I prefer the soup to act like a gravy by the time everything has finished cooking. Feel free to thin it out with a smidge of water though if that's your personal preference.
I browned my chicken first. I used cream of celery and cream of chicken. It is in crock pot now. Have not eaten. Can't wait to try.
I hope you enjoy it!
Same. In crockpot now with one can of cream of celery because I only used three pretty flat boneless breasts. Also used only Cavenders Greek seasoning. 🤞🏻

I'll try it today! I will try with cream of chicken soup and cream of celery as that sounds like a delicious combination. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
We swapped out quail for the chicken since we had a ton to use up, delicious! Also mixed 1 can cream of chicken and 1 can cream of mushroom since that's what I had on hand. ☺️ thanks for the recipe!
Oh that sounds amazing! Thanks for sharing.
I made a version of this based on giur recipe and what I had on hand and use. I cut up approximately 6 Idaho potatoes, lots of baby carrots, 2 very large chicken breasts(about size of 4) boneless that were in freezer into slow cooker. Topped all with Adobo. Then added 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup. Cooked 4 hours on high. Wasn't ready at 3 hours. Came out very good. I have myself and child so I put some to be reheated for tonight as I made it last night. So sorted it this morning. I put some to be reheated for today's meal. I put some for leftover and some to freeze for another night.
Oh that sounds yummy. Thanks for sharing.
Making this recipe as I type this it's got about 20 minutes left and the ole lady and myself will be chowing down. Will let you know later how it turned out. Thanks for sharing this recipe
OMG!!! That's was SO good, I love how the cream of of chicken soup made it creamy. The only thing I did differently was I removed the chicken once it was cooked and shredded it with 2 forks and put back into crockpot and mixed it all together and cooked it for an additional 20 minutes. So amazing.
I'm so glad you liked it! And thank you for the suggestion. I love that idea.
