I love how simple the ingredients for this slow cooker chicken and potatoes recipe are and the lemon flavor takes it to another level.
For this recipe, you’ll need:
Yellow Potatoes
Yellow onion
Garlic
Dried oregano, basil, and rosemary
Salt and pepper
Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
Olive oil
Chicken broth
Fresh lemon juice and zest
Fresh parsley
Directions:
Place potatoes and onions in an even layer in cooker.
Pour in chicken broth. Sprinkle with half the garlic, half the oregano, half the basil and half the rosemary then season with salt and pepper.
Working in two batches, dab skin side of half the chicken thighs dry with paper towels, season with salt and pepper, then sear until golden brown.***Omit this step if you use boneless, skinless thighs or chicken breasts***
Transfer chicken to slow cooker over potato layer. Repeat with remaining thighs.
Slowly and evenly pour lemon juice over chicken thighs, then sprinkle in remaining half the garlic, oregano, rosemary and basil over chicken.
Sprinkle 1 tsp lemon zest over chicken.
Cover and cook on low heat 5 1/2 – 7 hours or on high heat for 2-2 1/2 hours
Serve warm and sprinkle with fresh parsley and remaining lemon zest.
Note: If you use chicken breast, I'd add a tbsp of olive oil to slow cooker to replace fat flavor from losing the skin on thighs!
If you give it a try, lemme know what you think!
