Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken thighs with bones and skin
  • 3-4 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 pound baby potatoes can halve
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, mix minced garlic with garlic salt, paprika, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Use half of this mixture to season the chicken thighs. Brown the thighs with 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat, about 2 minutes per side, for maximum flavor and a beautiful golden color.
  • Put the baby potatoes into the slow cooker and season with the remaining garlic mixture. Place the browned chicken thighs on top.
  • Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or on HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  • Once done, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top before serving.
  • Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley. Pairs beautifully with steamed vegetables, roasted potatoes, or creamy mashed potatoes.

Notes

For an extra boost of flavor, try adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice right before serving. Leftovers make a delicious next-day lunch.
