Ingredients

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (or boneless, if preferred)

  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved

  • 2 large carrots, sliced into rounds

  • 1 cup green beans, trimmed

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1/2 teaspoon teaspoon paprika

  • 1/2 teaspoon teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • Juice of 1 large lemon (plus lemon slices for garnish)

  • 1/2 cup chicken broth

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Directions

  • Season the chicken: In a small bowl, mix the salt, pepper, oregano, paprika, and red pepper flakes. Rub this mixture onto both sides of the chicken thighs.
  • Sear the chicken (optional): Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown. This step adds extra flavor but can be skipped for convenience.
  • Assemble in the slow cooker: Add the potatoes, carrots, and garlic to the bottom of the slow cooker. Place the seared (or raw) chicken on top.
  • Add liquids: Pour in the lemon juice and chicken broth. Scatter the butter cubes over the chicken and vegetables.
  • Slow cook: Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
  • Add green beans: In the last 30 minutes of cooking, add the green beans to the slow cooker.
  • Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices before serving. Enjoy!
