Ingredients for Crockpot Chicken & Potatoes

This recipe is adaptable to whatever you have on hand. Substitute poultry seasoning or other herbs for the Italian seasoning called for in the recipe.

• Chicken: Choose bone-in chicken thighs for this recipe as they have more flavor and won’t dry out.
• Vegetables: Baby potatoes are a great choice because they don’t require peeling and the skin keeps them from getting mushy. Fresh carrots or baby carrots and diced onions round out the meal.
• Seasonings: Italian seasoning is a favorite, but any chicken seasoning you love will work in this recipe.
• Other Ingredients: Melted butter, chicken stock or chicken broth add enough liquid to help everything cook evenly.

• Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Season chicken with salt & pepper to taste. Add chicken, skin-side down, and brown for 3-5 minutes.

To Crisp Skin (optional): Once cooked, remove chicken from the slow cooker and place on a foil lined pan. Broil on high for 3-4 minutes or until browned and crisp.
To make a gravy/sauce (optional): In a medium saucepan, combine ¼ cup butter and ¼ cup flour over medium heat. Cook the flour for 3 to 4 minutes or until the butter starts to lightly brown. Place the drippings in a measuring cup and add enough liquid to make 1 1/2 cups. Slowly add the liquid into the flour mixture a little bit at a time, whisking until smooth after each addition. Boil 1 minute and season with salt and pepper to taste.
