🍗🥔 Slow Cooker Chicken and Potatoes

Ingredients (Serves 4–6)

• 2 lbs bone-in or boneless chicken thighs (or breasts)

• 1½–2 lbs baby potatoes, halved

• 1 small onion, sliced

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• ¾ cup chicken broth

• 3 tbsp olive oil or melted butter

• 1 tsp paprika

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp onion powder

• Salt & pepper to taste

• Optional: carrots or green beans

• Optional finish: fresh parsley or lemon juice

Instructions

1. Prep the base

   • Add potatoes, onion, and garlic to the slow cooker.

   • Drizzle with olive oil/butter and season lightly with salt & pepper.

2. Season the chicken

   • Rub chicken with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme/rosemary, salt, and pepper.

3. Assemble

   • Place chicken on top of potatoes.

   • Pour broth around the edges (not directly over chicken).

4. Cook

   • LOW: 6–7 hours

   • HIGH: 3–4 hours

   • Chicken should be tender and cooked through; potatoes fork-soft.

5. Optional finish (highly recommended 😏)

   • Broil chicken 3–5 minutes to crisp the skin.

   • Or shred chicken slightly and mix back into the juices.

6. Serve

   • Spoon juices over chicken and potatoes.

   • Finish with parsley or a squeeze of lemon.

Flavor Variations

• Garlic herb: Add butter + fresh rosemary

• Creamy: Stir in ½ cup cream or sour cream at the end

• Ranch style: Add 1 packet ranch seasoning

• Lemon chicken: Add lemon slices + zest

Pro Tips

• Thighs stay juicier than breasts

• Don’t overfill the slow cooker—steam needs space

• Salt at the end if broth is salty

This is the kind of meal that smells amazing all day and tastes like you worked way harder than you did 😌
