Easy crock pot chicken dinner

I decided that menu planning needed to make a comeback in my life! this chicken dish was on this weeks menu. It makes it so much easier to know what's for dinner ahead of time and have all of the ingredients on hand. Another thing that makes dinner more simple for me is my crock pot! I made this really easy and delicious chicken dish for our dinner tonight. It was a hit with everyone!

It was kind of like a chicken stew. Here's the recipe:

4-5 large carrots sliced
2 large onions sliced
4-5 celery stalks sliced
4 chicken breast halves (bone in) with skin removed
1/2 t. black pepper
1/2 t. salt
2-3 T. organic soup base like Better than Bouillon (I used beef because I didn't have any chicken. Costco usually has these at a great price.)
2 C. of boiling water
3-4 T. of tapioca flour
1/4 C. cold water

Turn the crock pot on and start by slicing up the carrots, onions and celery into it. Place the chicken breast halves on top of the vegetables. Then mix boiling water with soup base and salt and pepper until the soup base dissolves. Feel free to add or adjust seasonings to taste. Pour liquid into crock pot. Cook on high for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours and then on low for another 4-6 hours until ready to serve. Mix tapioca flour with cold water until dissolved and stir it into the hot liquid in the crock pot. This will thicken the liquid. Shred the chicken with a fork and remove bones at the same time. Voila - dinner is served!
