A comforting crockpot dinner featuring juicy chicken thighs, tender baby potatoes, and a rich garlic Parmesan sauce. Easy, flavorful, and family-friendly.
6 bone-in, skinless chicken thighs
1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp olive oil
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 tsp Italian seasoning
½ tsp paprika (optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Chopped parsley for garnish
Season chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and paprika.
(Optional) Sear the chicken in olive oil for 2–3 minutes per side until golden.
In a saucepan, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant. Add broth and Italian seasoning.
Place potatoes in the bottom of the crockpot. Layer chicken on top.
Pour garlic butter sauce over everything. Sprinkle with Parmesan.
Cover and cook on Low for 6–7 hours or High for 3–4 hours.

For a richer sauce, stir in heavy cream at the end. Add green beans or broccoli for a one-pot meal. Broil chicken briefly for a crispy finish.
