Smothered Buttermilk Chicken - Crockpot

This is one of those nice comfort foods. There aren't a whole lot of spices used here, but its satisfying all the same. This goes good onto mashed potatoes, pasta, or rice. I serve this with biscuits when I'm feeling energetic, white bread and butter when I'm not.

12 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts
3 medium carrots, sliced
onion, chopped
1/2 cup water
Country Crock Light 2 tablespoons
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

5. Cover, increase heat to high; cover and cook an additional 25-20 minutes or until peas are cooked.
