Crockpot Creamy Chicken & Potatoes

Ingredients

• 2 lb Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 2 lb Yellow baby potatoes (Halved)
• Olive oil (Drizzle generously over chicken)
• Garlic powder (To taste; transcript says about 1 teaspoon)
• Paprika (To taste; transcript mentions paprika among the seasonings)
• Oregano (To taste)
• Salt (To taste)
• Black pepper (To taste)
• Chicken rub (To taste; optional but recommended. Also used to season the potatoes)
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 4 tbsp Butter (Sliced into pats)
• 0.333 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tbsp Cornstarch

Steps

1. 1

   Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl. Drizzle generously with olive oil, then season evenly with garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken rub if using, and toss until the chicken is well coated. Let it marinate for a few minutes while you prepare the potatoes.

2. 2

   Cut the yellow baby potatoes in half.

3. 3

   Place the potatoes in the bottom of the crockpot and season them with chicken rub to taste. Arrange the seasoned chicken thighs around and over the potatoes.

4. 4

   Pour 1 cup of chicken broth into the crockpot.

5. 5

   Slightly warm the heavy cream. Whisk in the cornstarch until smooth, then pour the mixture into the crockpot and stir it into the chicken broth to form the base of the creamy sauce.

6. 6

   Layer the pats of butter over the chicken.

7. 7

   Cover 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.

8. 8

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

Notes

The transcript gives conflicting amounts for the potatoes (about 1½ lb spoken versus 2 lb in the post); the post's 2 lb is used. The post does not specify how much olive oil or how to season the potatoes beyond saying to season them; the transcript specifically mentions more chicken rub. The transcript does not state a specific LOW cooking duration; the post gives 5–6 hours.
