Slow Cooked Chicken with Veggies

This slow cooked chicken with veggies will fill your home with an aromatic scent. It is the perfect meal that will warm up your soul on a chilly day. This one pot meal is family friendly, tastes incredible and it is so easy to prepare. I like to roughly chop all of the vegetables and season the chicken with sea salt and pepper. The dutch oven I used is by Great Jones and I love it because it can easily move from stove to oven. If you don’t have a dutch oven, you can use a slow cooker or a large stainless steel pot.
