THIS SLOW COOKER FULL CHICKEN DINNER HAS TENDER CHICKEN THIGHS, YUKON GOLD POTATOES AND GREEN BEANS IN A SAVORY HERB SAUCE.
I love rotisserie chicken, but it can be pricey and is often filled with sodium and sometimes even preservatives and other questionable ingredients. This slow cooker roasted chicken has just a few minutes of prep time, you can set it in the morning and come home to have dinner waiting for you!
Slow Cooker Whole Chicken & Gravy! A complete Sunday meal made easy in the crockpot. While it takes only minutes of prep, this tender, juicy crock pot chicken & gravy tastes like you’ve been in the kitchen all day. When you’re short on time nothing is more simple to prepare than a slow cooker whole chicken. For this recipe, chicken is rubbed with a savory spice blend to enhance the natural flavours of chicken, then slow cooked in a crock pot for tender mouth watering results.
You’ll need
4 bone-in chicken thighs cooking oil
1.5 lbs Yukon gold potatoes, diced
1 pound green beans, ends snipped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (8-oz) can tomato sauce (not paste)
1½ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. pepper
½ tsp. dried thyme
½ tsp. dried rosemary.
How to make it
Set a pan on the stove top and set to medium high heat. Add enough cooking oil to coat the bottom of the pan. When the oil is hot, brown the chicken on both sides, you don’t need to cook the meat through.
Add the diced potatoes and green beans to the bottom of the slow cooker, toss them together to combine them.
Add the chicken thighs on top of the potatoes and green beans. Add the garlic. Drizzle over the tomato sauce, then sprinkle over the salt, pepper, thyme and rosemary. Take a spatula and smear around the sauce trying to combine the seasoning into the sauce.
Cover and cook on HIGH for 4.5 hours. Do no open the lid during the cooking time or the potatoes will not get tender.
Serve and enjoy!
