Here’s a simple and delicious Chicken and Potatoes Slow Cooker recipe that’s perfect for an easy meal:
Slow Cooker Chicken and Potatoes
Ingredients (4 servings)
- 4 chicken thighs or breasts (bone-in or boneless)
- 500 g potatoes, cut into chunks
- 2 carrots, sliced (optional)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp dried thyme (or rosemary)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients: Wash and chop the potatoes, carrots, and onion. Pat the chicken dry and season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Layer in the slow cooker:
- Place potatoes and carrots at the bottom.
- Add onions and garlic.
- Place chicken on top.
- Add herbs and liquid: Sprinkle thyme or rosemary over everything. Pour chicken broth and drizzle olive oil over the chicken.
- Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until chicken is fully cooked and potatoes are tender.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley. Optionally, spoon some of the juices over the chicken and potatoes.
Tips
- For extra flavor, sear the chicken in a pan for 2–3 minutes per side before adding to the slow cooker.
- You can add other vegetables like bell peppers, green beans, or mushrooms.
- If you like a thicker sauce, remove the chicken and vegetables at the end and reduce the liquid in a small saucepan over medium heat.
If you want, I can also give you a one-pot variation with creamy garlic sauce that turns it into a rich, hearty dish without any extra pans.
Do you want me to do that?
