Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs chicken thighs
- 4 medium potatoes, diced
- 3 large carrots, sliced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup water
- 2 chicken bouillon cubes
- 4 cloves crushed garlic
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 cups green beans, trimmed
Instructions
- Season the chicken, potatoes, and carrots with seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Layer the potatoes and carrots in a 6-quart slow cooker, placing the chicken on top.
- Mix water and bouillon, pour it into the slow cooker. Add crushed garlic and place pats of butter on the chicken.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours, or on HIGH for 4 hours. Halfway through, add green beans to the liquid at the bottom, or place them on top of the chicken.
- For crispy skin, broil the chicken thighs in a cast-iron skillet until browned. To thicken gravy, stir a slurry of water and cornstarch into the juices and cook on HIGH without the lid until thickened. Serve with gravy.
Notes
Using skin-on chicken thighs can enhance browning and crispiness.
Adjust the vegetable selection based on your preference to include seasonal veggies.
