Ingredients for Crockpot Chicken & Potatoes
This recipe is adaptable to whatever you have on hand. Substitute poultry seasoning or other herbs for the Italian seasoning called for in the recipe.
- Chicken: Choose bone-in chicken thighs for this recipe as they have more flavor and won’t dry out.
- Vegetables: Baby potatoes are a great choice because they don’t require peeling and the skin keeps them from getting mushy. Fresh carrots or baby carrots and diced onions round out the meal.
- Seasonings: Italian seasoning is a favorite, but any chicken seasoning you love will work in this recipe.
- Other Ingredients: Melted butter, chicken stock or chicken broth add enough liquid to help everything cook evenly.
