Ingredients
4 4 chicken thighs
450 g 1 lb baby potatoes
225 g 8 oz mushrooms
1 1 onion
3 3 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon 1 tablespoon olive oil
240 ml 1 cup chicken broth
60 ml 1/4 cup heavy cream

Equipment
Crockpot- Cutting board
- knife
- Measuring cups (for USA)
- Spoon
- Frying pan
Directions
- Slice the mushrooms, halve or quarter the baby potatoes, chop the onion, and mince the garlic.
- Sprinkle the chicken thighs with paprika, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper on both sides.
- (Optional) Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Brown the chicken thighs for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. This step is optional but adds extra depth of flavor.
- Place the chopped onions, garlic, potatoes, and mushrooms at the bottom of the crockpot.
- Place the seasoned chicken thighs on top of the vegetables.
- Pour the chicken broth over everything. If you want a creamier dish, add the heavy cream now.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is tender and the potatoes are cooked through.
- Once done, garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
- For a thicker sauce: Remove the chicken and vegetables when done, and stir in 1 tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons of water to the remaining liquid. Cook on high for an additional 10 minutes until the sauce thickens.
