Slow Cooker Chicken and Potatoes is made with crispy, juicy chicken thighs and red potatoes, topped with olive oil, garlic, and homemade rotisserie chicken seasoning to make the perfect meal!
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Mix one tablespoon of olive oil with the seasoning, and rub over both sides of the chicken thighs. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet.
Place the chicken in the skillet and brown for 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Wash and quarter the potatoes, and place them in the slow cooker. Add the garlic, onion, and lemon juice and stir together. Place the chicken on top of the potatoes.
Place the lid on the slow cooker and set on high for 4 hours (or on low for 8 hours).

If your potatoes are on the smaller size, just cut them in half instead of quartering them.
You can make slow cooker chicken thighs without browning the chicken first, but the skins will be soft instead of golden brown and crispy.
You can use chicken breast instead of thighs for this recipe.
If you use skinless thighs, don't worry about browning them beforehand. Just put the skinless thighs straight into the slow cooker.
I like making rotisserie chicken thighs, but this recipe works with most seasoning blends. Try taco seasoning, Italian seasoning, or dry Ranch dressing mix.
