Ingredients You’ll Need
- Bone-in skin on chicken thighs.

- Chicken broth. Bone broth is jam packed with nutrients if you have access to it. I love this brand!
- GF all purpose flour. Regular all purpose works as well.
- Lemon.
- Shallots.
- Garlic. Lots of garlic! This recipe calls for 15 cloves, and just trust me on this one!

How to make this slow cooker garlic chicken and potatoes
- Spray the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray. My favorite is avocado oil spray. Then season both sides of chicken generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder and add to greased crock pot.
- Top chicken with potatoes, garlic, shallots, and thyme. Season potatoes with salt and pepper then pour melted butter over everything.
- In a bowl, combine flour and a little broth and whisk until a paste forms. Add remaining broth, lemon juice, and wine and stir to combine. Pour this over everything in the crock pot.
- Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours, until potatoes are cooked and chicken is insanely tender. Serve up with the juice in the pot and a vegetable of choice. Enjoy!!
