🍗 Slow Cooker Chicken and Potatoes 🥔
📝 Ingredients:
🔹️ 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
🔹️ 1 ½ pounds baby potatoes, halved
🔹️ 1 small onion, sliced
🔹️ 3 garlic cloves, minced
🔹️ 2 tablespoons olive oil
🔹️ 1 teaspoon salt
🔹️ ½ teaspoon black pepper
🔹️ ½ teaspoon paprika
🔹️ ½ teaspoon dried thyme
🔹️ ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
🔹️ ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
🔹️ (Optional) 1 tablespoon lemon juice
🔹️ Fresh chopped parsley for garnish
👉 Instructions:
✅️ 1. Season the veggies:
In a large bowl, toss the baby potatoes, sliced onion, and minced garlic with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, thyme, and rosemary.
✅️ 2. Layer in the slow cooker:
Add the seasoned potatoes and onions to the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker. Place the chicken on top. Pour chicken broth evenly over everything. Add lemon juice if using.
✅️ 3. Cook:
Cover and cook on Low for 6–7 hours or High for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and potatoes are tender.
✅️ 4. Optional – Broil for a golden finish:
Transfer the chicken and potatoes to a baking sheet and broil for 3–5 minutes for a crispy top. Watch carefully so it doesn’t burn.
✅️ 5. Serve and enjoy:
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot. Great with a green salad or warm crusty bread on the side.
▶️ 3 Tips for Best Results:
🔹️ Cut potatoes evenly so they cook at the same rate.
🔹️ Avoid opening the lid while cooking—it releases heat and slows things down.
🔹️ Taste before serving—a little extra lemon juice or salt can brighten it up perfectly.
