Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season 6 bone-in chicken thighs with 1 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, and 2 tbsp dried oregano, then brown the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden. Transfer to a slow cooker.
  2. Step 2: In the same skillet, add 2 tbsp olive oil and sauté 5 minced garlic cloves for 1 minute until fragrant. Add 1 cup chicken broth and 1/4 cup lemon juice, stirring to deglaze the pan.
  3. Step 3: Pour the lemon-garlic broth over the chicken in the slow cooker. Add 4 peeled and quartered large potatoes around the chicken.
  4. Step 4: Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is tender and the potatoes are cooked through.
  5. Step 5: Serve hot with the lemony sauce spooned over the chicken and potatoes.
