🥘 Ingredients

11 items

• 6 pieces Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 1.5 pounds Baby potatoes
• 6 whole Garlic cloves
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups Low-sodium chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoons Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoons Paprika
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and slice them in half (or quarters if they are large). Set aside.

2. Peel the garlic cloves, leaving them whole, and set them aside.

3. Season the chicken thighs on both sides with salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme.

4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs, skin-side down, for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Flip and sear the other side for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

5. In the Crock Pot, add the baby potatoes and garlic cloves. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then drizzle with 2 tablespoons of melted butter.

6. Place the seared chicken thighs on top of the potatoes and garlic in the Crock Pot.

7. Pour the chicken broth over the chicken and potatoes.

8. Cover and cook on the high setting for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender, and the potatoes are soft.

9. Optional: To crisp up the chicken skin, place the cooked chicken thighs on a baking sheet and broil in the oven for 3-5 minutes before serving.

10. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
