SLOW COOKER FULL CHICKEN DINNER

By peridot728

THIS SLOW COOKER FULL CHICKEN DINNER HAS TENDER CHICKEN THIGHS, YUKON GOLD POTATOES AND GREEN BEANS IN A SAVORY HERB SAUCE.

For this meal I used bone-in chicken thighs. I think if boneless skinless chicken is used in the recipe the entire recipe would be very dry. The juices from the bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs help make a flavorful sauce along with the tomato sauce and seasonings.

Ingredients

• PREP TIME 25 mins
• COOK TIME 4 hours 30 mins
• TOTAL TIME 4 hours 55 mins
• Serves: 4
• 4 bone-in chicken thighs Coupons
• 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)
• 1 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. pepper
• 1/2 tsp. dried thyme
• 1/2 tsp. dried rosemary
• Slow Cooker Size: 6-quart or larger

Preparation

Step 1

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!
