Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 – 2 pounds chicken thighs (boneless or bone-in)
- 2–3 teaspoons seasoning of choice
- salt & pepper (to taste)
- 1 pound baby red potatoes (halved unless they are tiny)
- 1 pound baby carrots
- 1 cup water (or 1 cup chicken broth)
- 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon
- 2 cloves garlic (crushed, optional)
- 2–3 tablespoons butter
- ½ – 1 pound green beans (trimmed and cut into 1 to 2-inch pieces)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional)
Instructions
- Season the chicken, potatoes, and carrots with your chosen seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Place the potatoes and carrots in a 6-quart slow cooker, then arrange the chicken on top.
- Combine the water and bouillon and pour it into the slow cooker. Add the crushed garlic and top the chicken with butter.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours, or HIGH for 4 hours. Halfway through, add the green beans, making room among the other vegetables.
- For a crispy finish, broil the chicken thighs in a cast-iron skillet until browned. For thicker gravy, mix water and cornstarch and stir into the juices, cooking on HIGH until thickened. Serve with the juices.
Notes
You can substitute chicken broth for water for extra flavor.
Adjust seasoning according to your taste preference.
For best texture, add green beans halfway through the cooking time.
