Here’s a simple, hearty chicken and potatoes crockpot recipe 🍗🥔 — perfect for a set-it-and-forget-it meal.
Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
- 4–6 bone-in chicken thighs or drumsticks (skin-on or off)
- 4–5 medium potatoes, cut into chunks (Yukon Gold or red work well)
- 1 onion, sliced
- 3–4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
- Optional: carrots, rosemary, or parsley for garnish
Instructions

Tips
- For extra flavor, sear chicken in a pan before adding to the crockpot — gives a richer color and taste.
- Add carrots, bell peppers, or mushrooms for a complete one-pot meal.
- Use skin-on chicken for more richness, or skinless for a lighter dish.
If you want, I can give you a creamy version with a thickened sauce that makes it feel like a comfort-food casserole straight from the crockpot 😄
Do you want me to do that?
