Description

Easy to make and perfect for a weeknight dinner, these slow cooker Parmesan chicken thighs and potatoes will appeal to the whole family.

Ingredients

8 (5 ounce) bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 pounds baby red potatoes, quartered
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions

1 Season chicken with basil, oregano, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
2 Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, and sear until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain excess fat and set chicken aside.
3 Place potatoes in a 6-quart slow cooker. Stir in olive oil, garlic, and thyme, then season with salt and pepper. Add chicken in an even layer over top.
4 Cover and cook until potatoes are tender and chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 7 to 8 hours on Low or 3 to 4 hours on High. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
5 Serve immediately, sprinkled with Parmesan cheese and garnished with parsley.
