How to Make Fresh Herb Chicken and Potatoes in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
I can’t take credit for this recipe. Cris came up with the recipe for this Fresh Herb Crock Pot Chicken and Potatoes using the herbs she has been growing. Once she tried it, she told me that I had to try it, and I am very glad she did! It is delicious!
In the recipe, you will see the fresh herbs I used listed in the ingredients. You don’t have to use the herbs I used. If you have a different fresh herb combination that you love, you can totally use that instead. If you don’t have fresh herbs available, no worries! You can use dried herbs by dividing the measurement called for when using fresh herbs by three. For example, if it is 1 tablespoon of fresh herbs, you will use 1 teaspoon of dried herbs since there are 3 teaspoons in 1 tablespoon. If the recipe calls for 3 tablespoons of fresh herbs, then you will use 1 tablespoon of dried herbs. I hope that helps so that everyone can enjoy this amazing recipe.
