Follow The Directions

01

Step

Step 1: Season the chicken thighs generously with dried basil, oregano, rosemary, salt, and pepper. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

Step 2: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and sear until beautifully golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. This step adds depth of flavor. Drain any excess fat and set the chicken aside. (Cook time: 10 minutes)

03

Step

Step 3: Place the quartered baby red potatoes into a 6-quart slow cooker. Drizzle with olive oil, add the minced garlic and dried thyme, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

04

Step

Step 4: Arrange the seared chicken thighs in an even layer on top of the potatoes in the slow cooker. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

05

Step

Step 5: Cover the slow cooker and cook on Low for 7-8 hours or on High for 3-4 hours, or until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (Cook time: 3-8 hours)

06

Step

Step 6: Before serving, sprinkle generously with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of freshness. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

For extra flavor, consider adding sliced onions or bell peppers to the slow cooker along with the potatoes.
If you prefer a creamier sauce, stir in a splash of heavy cream or half-and-half during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
The Parmesan cheese can also be added during the last 30 minutes of cooking for a meltier, cheesier result.

    I used Italian seasoning instead of the individual herbs, and it was still fantastic.

    Next time, I'll try adding a little white wine as suggested for some extra flavour!
