For even more flavor, try adding a splash of dry white wine or chicken broth to the slow cooker before adding the chicken. Feel free to substitute other root vegetables, such as parsnips or sweet potatoes, for the carrots or potatoes. If you don't have Herbes de Provence, you can use a mix of dried thyme, rosemary, and savory. Browning the chicken is optional, but it adds a depth of flavor that is well worth the extra step.
