A one-pot meal with potatoes and veggies that are cooked right in the crockpot with the chicken thighs. This is a winner recipe that will sweep everyone off their feet!

INGREDIENTS

2 tablespoons olive oil

6-8 chicken thighs – bone-in, skin on

1-1.5 pounds baby potatoes

1 red onion

1 lemon

2 tablespoons honey

1/2 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

4 cloves garlic

bunch thin green asparagus

sea salt

Pepper

HOW TO MAKE SLOW-COOKER LEMON CHICKEN

Step 1: Peel the red onion, slice, and add to the bottom of the slow cooker in a single layer. On top, add the chicken thighs in one layer.

Step 2: Next, wash the baby potatoes, slice them in half, and add the pieces to the slow cooker.

Step 3: Whisk a zest of lemon with the juice of the same lemon, olive oil, honey, thyme, sea salt, pepper, and finely chopped garlic in a small bowl. Then, pour this over the ingredients in the slow cooker.

Step 4: Cover and secure the lid. Set the slow cooker to high for 3 to 4 hours or 6 to 8 hours on low. You can set the cooking time depending on your schedule. Minimum of 3 hours on high and 4 to 6 hours as maximum. If the setting on low, 8 hours is the maximum cooking time.

Step 5: Set the slow cooker to high in the last 15 to 20 minutes of cooking time. Then, add the asparagus and replace the lid. If using thicker asparagus, note that the cooking time will be longer. You can transfer the chicken thighs to a baking sheet in the last 5 minutes of cooking. Broil the chicken thighs for 3 to 5 minutes on high or until the skin is golden.
