Greek Slow Cooker Lemon Chicken And Potatoes Recipes

SLOW COOKER GREEK CHICKEN AND POTATOES

Steps:

• In a bowl whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, pepper, garlic, oregano and parsley.
• Cut your potatoes into quarters. My potatoes were not small and not large.
• Pour the chicken broth into the slow cooker. Place chicken thighs into the slow cooker. Arrange them in a single layer on the bottom of the slow cooker. Pour half of the lemon juice mixture over the chicken.
• Layer the potatoes on top of the chicken. Pour the other half of the lemon juice mixture over the potatoes.
• Cover and cook on low for 6 hours, or until chicken and potatoes are tender and cooked through. Remove the lid.
• Remove the potatoes from the pot and place in a serving dish. Use tongs to carefully place chicken on the platter. Pour the juices into a container to use later.
• Optional browning step: Use your oven's broiler to brown the chicken skin. Place the chicken on a sheet pan and place under the broiler for a few minutes until the skin crisps up. Watch it closely as it browns fairly fast.
• Serve the chicken and potatoes. Drizzle some of the reserved juices over the potatoes and chicken for extra flavor. Garnish with lemon wedges.

• Place in preheated oven. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Toss chicken and potatoes, keeping chicken skin side up; continue baking until chicken is browned and cooked through, about 25 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to serving platter and keep warm.
