🍗 Slow Cooker Chicken with Potatoes, Carrots & Onions

A comforting one-pot chicken dinner with tender vegetables and a savory herb sauce.

Ingredients

• 4 chicken thighs or drumsticks
• 4 medium potatoes, cut into chunks
• 3 carrots, cut into large pieces
• 1 large onion, cut into chunks
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, paprika, thyme, and garlic powder.
2. Heat olive oil in a pan and brown the chicken for 2–3 minutes per side. This step is optional but gives it a beautiful golden color.
3. Put the potatoes, carrots, onion, and garlic in the slow cooker.
4. Place the chicken on top and pour in the chicken broth.
5. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.
6. For extra-crispy chicken skin, place the cooked chicken under the broiler for 3–5 minutes before serving.

Serve warm with some of the cooking juices spooned over the chicken and vegetables.
