Qty	Item
1.5 lbs 680 g	Boneless skinless chicken thighs
1.5 lbs 680 g	Baby yellow potatoes, halved
2 tbsp 30 ml	Olive oil
6 cloves 6 cloves	Garlic cloves, minced
0.25 cup 60 ml	Fresh lemon juice
0.5 cup 120 ml	Chicken broth
1 tsp 5 g	Dried oregano
0.5 tsp 2.5 g	Paprika
1 tsp 6 g	Salt
0.5 tsp 3 g	Black pepper
2 tbsp 8 g	Fresh parsley, chopped

2 Instructions

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

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

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

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

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

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 165°F (74°C).

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

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