Ingredients
- 2½ lb bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
- 1½ lb baby potatoes
- 6 cloves garlic
- 4 tbsp butter
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ cup low-sodium gluten-free chicken broth
- 12 oz green beans
- ½ cup parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
Steps
- Halve the potatoes and spread them in the slow cooker with the broth.
- Melt the butter and stir in the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Brush most of it over the chicken and drizzle the rest on the potatoes.
- Set the chicken on the potatoes skin side up. Cover and cook on LOW for 5 hours, adding the trimmed green beans for the last hour.
- Check that the chicken reaches 165°F. Move the chicken and potatoes to a sheet pan and sprinkle with parmesan.
- Broil 3-4 minutes until the skin crisps and the cheese browns. Serve with the green beans.
- Picky eater tip: serve the chicken, potatoes and green beans plain, with the cheese on the side.
- Make ahead: mince the garlic and halve the potatoes the night before and keep them in the fridge.
On the side: Warm pita and hummus (5 min)
1 package pita bread, 1 container hummus
- Warm the pitas in a dry skillet or the oven for 1 to 2 minutes, cut into wedges and serve with the hummus.
