Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1.5 lbs golden potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 lb carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prepare the Garlic Butter Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
  2. Layer the Ingredients: Place the potato chunks and carrot pieces in the bottom of your 6-quart slow cooker. Arrange the chicken thighs evenly over the vegetables. Pour the garlic butter sauce over everything, making sure each piece gets coated.
  3. Add Liquid and Cook: Pour the chicken broth around the edges of the crock pot (not directly over the chicken to avoid washing off the seasoning). Cover and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours.
  4. Final Touches: Once cooked, use tongs to remove the chicken and vegetables to a serving platter. Spoon some of the delicious cooking liquid over the top and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

Choose Yukon gold or red potatoes for best results as they hold their shape well during slow cooking. Don't skip the chicken broth as it adds moisture and creates flavorful sauce. For extra rich sauce, stir in 1/4 cup heavy cream during last 30 minutes of cooking.
