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 chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon
- 2 cloves garlic (crushed)
- 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 the chosen seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Place the potatoes and carrots in a 6-quart slow cooker and arrange the chicken on top.
- Combine the water and bouillon, pour into the slow cooker. Add the crushed garlic and top the chicken with pats of butter.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours, or HIGH for 4 hours. Halfway through, add the green beans to the liquid at the bottom, or place them on top if you prefer steamed.
- For browned chicken, broil in a cast-iron skillet until crispy. For thicker gravy, mix cornstarch with water, stir into the juices, and cook on HIGH until thickened. Serve the chicken and vegetables with the gravy.
Notes
Using chicken broth enhances the flavor compared to water.
Adjust seasonings according to personal taste.
