Ingredients:

• 1 pound carrots, cut into 1¼-inch pieces, or 3 cups baby carrots
• 1 pound (3-4 medium) yellow-fleshed potatoes, peeled and cut
• lengthwise into 1¼-inch-wide wedges
• 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed
• 1 14-ounce can reduced-sodium chicken broth
• ⅓ cup dry white wine
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• ¾ teaspoon salt
• 1 15-ounce can artichoke hearts, rinsed and quartered if large
• 1 large egg
• 2 large egg yolks
• ⅓ cup lemon juice
• ⅓ cup chopped fresh dill
• Freshly ground pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Spread carrots and potatoes over the bottom and up the sides of a 4-quart or larger slow cooker. Arrange chicken on top of the vegetables. Bring broth, wine, garlic and salt to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Pour over the chicken and vegetables. Cover and cook until the chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender, 2½ to 3 hours on high or 4 to 4½ hours on low.
2. Add artichokes to the slow cooker, cover and cook on high for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk egg, egg yolks and lemon juice in a medium bowl.
3. Transfer the chicken and vegetables to a serving bowl using a slotted spoon. Then cover and keep warm. Ladle about ½ cup of the cooking liquid into the egg mixture. Whisk until smooth. Whisk the egg mixture into the remaining cooking liquid in the slow cooker. Cover and cook, whisking 2 or 3 times, until slightly thickened and sauce reaches 160°F on an instant-read thermometer, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in dill and pepper. Lastly, pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables and serve.
