Ingredients
 

  • 2 lbs. red potatoes (quartered)
  • 1 sweet yellow onion (quartered)
  • 1 lb. carrots (sliced into 2-3 inch sticks)
  • 6 bone in skin on chicken thighs
  • 3 Tablespoons lemon juice
  • 4 cloves garlic (pressed)
  • 1 lemon (sliced)
  • 3 sprigs rosemary (stems removed, chopped)
  • 6 sprigs fresh thyme leaves
  • Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper

Instructions

  • Place the potatoes, onions, and carrots in the bottom of a large slow cooker. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Stir in two cloves of garlic and half of the fresh herbs.
  • Sprinkle the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper then nestle them in with the potatoes and carrots. Squeeze the lemon juice on top then spread the remaining garlic over the chicken. Place the lemon slices over top.
  • Cook on high for four hours or on low for 6-8 hours. When the chicken is finished, remove the sliced lemon, squeezing it out over top of the chicken if you want extra lemony flavor.
  • Preheat the broiler and place the chicken thighs on a pan under the broiler for 3-4 minutes or until browned and crisp. Serve immediately with the vegetables from the slow cooker.

Notes

  • This recipe can be easily adapted based on the ingredients you have on hand. Feel free to use chicken drumsticks or breasts instead of thighs and use dried herbs (Italian seasoning, parsley, basil, or dried rosemary/thyme) instead of fresh.
  • Note: If substituting a boneless, skinless cut of chicken, drizzle the vegetables with 1 Tablespoon of olive oil and the chicken with another Tablespoon of olive oil.
