Slow Cooker Roasted Chicken

It's the most wonderful time of the yeeeaaaarrrrr!!!

Tomorrow is the first day of FALL!

Fall is the perfect time to bust out the slow cooker. Today truly feels like fall and as I write this I'm sitting here in a hoodie and jeans and LOVING it! So cozy! Nothing makes me happier than the smell of something yummy cooking all day in my slow cooker.

I shared this recipe on my old blog but it's SO good and SO easy that I think it's worth a share here as well. A one pot meal that the whole family is sure to love! Although I usually make a side of rice for my picky kids -- I'm looking at you, Kamryn and Logan. 

Here we go....

Ingredients 

1 large onion (sliced)

1 bag of baby carrots (16 oz)

1 bag of frozen broccoli (12 oz)

1 (6 pound) whole chicken

1 tablespoon seasoned salt

1 tablespoon paprika

1 tablespoon black pepper

1. Line bottom of the crock pot with onions.
2. On top of the onions make “foil handles”. These make removing the chicken so easy! Fold 2 pieces of tin foil (about 18 inches long) three times and crisscross them over the onions in an X.
3. Add the carrots and broccoli over the foil handles.
4. Season the chicken with salt, pepper and paprika.
5. Add the chicken to the crockpot over the carrot and broccoli. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until the chicken is cooked through. (to check and make sure the chicken is cooked use a meat thermometer in the thickest part of the thigh and make sure it is at 180 degrees)
6. Remove the chicken from the crockpot using the foil handles and let stand for about 10 minutes.

Slice the chicken and dinner is served!!
