HOW TO MAKE SLOW-COOKER LEMON CHICKEN
Step 1: Peel the red onion. Slice and add the pieces in a single layer to the bottom of the slow cooker.
Step 2: On top of the red onion slices, add the chicken thighs.
Step 3: Wash the baby potatoes. Slice in half and add them to the slow cooker.
Step 4: Place the zest and juice of one lemon, olive oil, honey, thyme, sea salt, pepper, and finely chopped garlic in a small bowl. Mix well, then pour on top of the half potatoes in the slow cooker.
Step 5: Cover the slow cooker and set it to high for 3 to 4 hours or 6 to 8 hours on low.
Step 6: In the last 15 to 20 minutes of cooking, set the slow cooker to high, add the asparagus on top, and cover. The cooking time differs from the thickness of the asparagus.
Step 7: I recommend removing the chicken from the slow cooker in the last 5 minutes of cooking time. Place on a baking sheet and broil for about 3 to 5 minutes on high or until the chicken skin is golden.
