Ingredients

• 2 lb yellow baby potatoes (Halved)
• olive oil (Drizzle generously over the chicken)
• garlic powder (To taste)
• paprika (To taste)
• dried oregano (To taste)
• salt (To taste)
• black pepper (To taste)
• chicken rub (To taste; optional but recommended, including additional seasoning for the potatoes)
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 4 tbsp butter (Sliced into pats)
• 0.333 cup heavy cream (Slightly warm before whisking with the cornstarch)
• 2 tbsp cornstarch (Whisk into the warmed cream until smooth)

Steps

1. 1

   Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl and drizzle generously with olive oil.

2. 2

   Season the chicken evenly with garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper, and the optional chicken rub. Toss until thoroughly coated, then let it marinate for a few minutes while preparing the potatoes.

3. 3

   Cut the yellow baby potatoes in half.

4. 4

   Add the seasoned chicken thighs to the bottom of the crockpot.

5. 5

   Layer the halved baby potatoes around and over the chicken, then season the potatoes with additional chicken rub.

6. 6

   Pour 1 cup of chicken broth into the crockpot.

7. 7

   Slightly warm the heavy cream. Whisk in the cornstarch until the mixture is smooth.

8. 8

   Pour the cream-and-cornstarch mixture into the crockpot and stir it into the chicken broth to create the base of the creamy sauce.

9. 9

   Layer the butter pats over the chicken.

10. 10

    Cover the crockpot and cook on HIGH for about 3½ hours or on LOW for 5–6 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are fork-tender.

11. 11

    Stir the sauce before serving, then spoon it generously over the chicken and potatoes.

Notes

The author also mentions using about 1 teaspoon of garlic powder in the video, but the written ingredient list gives the seasoning quantities as to taste, so no fixed amount is assigned. The source does not specify a crockpot size or a safe internal temperature; verify that the chicken is fully cooked before serving.
