Crock Pot Chicken

We had company last Saturday night, and I made this family favorite. It's embarrassingly easy! The recipe came from the little booklet that came with my crock pot, and I've made it more times than I can count.

3-4 carrots and 1 onion, cut into chunks
1 whole chicken
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 tsp dried basil
1/2 cup chicken broth

Put all the ingredients, in the above order, into the crock pot. Cook on low 6-8 hours. Remove the chicken, de-bone it, and serve. This is great over rice, and would also be yummy with mashed potatoes--you could use the "juice" as gravy for the potatoes!
