"Indulge in a melt-in-your-mouth chicken dinner that practically cooks itself. This recipe combines succulent chicken thighs with tender baby potatoes in a vibrant sauce of fresh lemon, roasted garlic, and savory herbs for a complete, comforting meal."

1 Ingredients

Qty Item
1.5 lbs Boneless skinless chicken thighs
1.5 lbs Baby yellow potatoes, halved
2 tbsp Olive oil
6 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
0.25 cup Fresh lemon juice
0.5 cup Chicken broth
1 tsp Dried oregano
0.5 tsp Paprika
1 tsp Salt
0.5 tsp Black pepper
2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped

2 Instructions

1

Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick spray or a small amount of olive oil.

2

Place the halved baby potatoes in the bottom of the crock pot.

3

Arrange the chicken thighs on top of the potatoes in a single layer.

4

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, chicken broth, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper.

5

Pour the lemon garlic mixture evenly over the chicken and potatoes.

6

Cover and cook on Low for 7-8 hours or on High for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are tender and the chicken's internal temperature reaches 165Β°F (74Β°C).

7

Once cooked, sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve with additional lemon wedges if desired.


πŸ’‘ Tips & Tricks

  • Β·

    For a better texture and color, sear the chicken thighs in a hot skillet for 2 minutes per side before adding them to the crock pot.

  • Β·

    Use fresh lemon juice rather than bottled for a significantly brighter and cleaner flavor profile.

  • Β·

    If you prefer a thicker sauce, whisk 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of cold water and stir it into the crock pot 30 minutes before serving.

  • Β·

    Ensure potatoes are cut into uniform sizes so they cook evenly throughout.


? Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use chicken breasts instead of thighs?
Yes, but be careful not to overcook them as they dry out faster. Check for doneness around 6 hours on Low.
Do I need to peel the potatoes?
No, baby yellow or red potatoes have thin skins that soften beautifully in the slow cooker, adding texture and nutrients.
Can I add vegetables to this?
Absolutely. Green beans or asparagus can be added during the last 30-45 minutes of cooking.
Is this recipe freezer-friendly?
Yes, you can freeze the leftovers, though the texture of the potatoes may change slightly upon thawing.
