Instructions
1
Begin by placing the cubed potatoes and carrots into a microwave-safe dish. Add 1/4 cup of water and cover. Microwave for 3 minutes, then drain the excess water.
2
In the crock pot, combine the drained potatoes, carrots, chopped onion, green beans, and corn.
3
Pour three-quarters of the cream of chicken soup over the vegetable mix. Sprinkle in the garlic powder and dried thyme, then stir to combine well.
4
Arrange the chicken breasts on top of the vegetable mix, ensuring they are evenly distributed. Spoon the remaining cream of chicken soup over the chicken, making sure each piece is well-covered. Season everything with paprika and pepper to taste.
5
Cover the crock pot and set it to low heat, allowing it to cook for 8 hours. This slow cooking will ensure the chicken is tender and the flavors meld beautifully.
6
About 30 minutes before you're ready to serve, use a spoon to break up the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces. If the sauce appears too thin, mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of water to create a slurry. Stir this mixture into the crock pot, and switch the heat to high for 20-30 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
7
Serve the delicious chicken and veggie mixture generously over hot biscuits, rice, or noodles. Enjoy your warm and comforting meal!
