Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 4 pieces bone-in chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons Cooking oil for browning
  • 1.5 lbs Yukon gold potatoes diced
  • 1 lb green beans ends snipped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 can tomato sauce 8 oz can
  • 1.5 teaspoons salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary

Instructions

  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and brown the chicken thighs on both sides (do not cook through). Set aside.
  • Add diced potatoes and green beans to the bottom of the slow cooker and toss to combine.
  • Place the browned chicken thighs on top of the vegetables. Sprinkle minced garlic over everything.
  • Drizzle tomato sauce evenly over chicken and vegetables. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary.
  • Use a spatula to gently mix the sauce and seasonings to coat the ingredients.
  • Cover and cook on HIGH for 4.5 hours. Do not lift the lid while cooking.
  • Serve hot with crusty bread or a fresh salad, if desired.

Notes

Use boneless chicken thighs for a quicker cook time. Swap green beans with carrots or zucchini for variety. This dish freezes well after cooking.
