There is nothing better than coming home to a house that smells like a delicious, home cooked meal. This slow cooker chicken is one of my absolute favorite things to make because it is so easy to prepare and always turns out incredibly moist.

Most people love this dish because it pairs perfectly with almost any side, from roasted vegetables to creamy mashed potatoes. My top tip is to make sure you use bone in chicken if you want the most flavor and the juiciest meat possible.

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken thighs with skin and bone in
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 fresh lemon, sliced
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place the chicken thighs at the bottom of your slow cooker.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.

  3. 3

    Pour the mixture evenly over the chicken thighs.

  4. 4

    Top the chicken with the lemon slices and pour the chicken broth around the edges of the pot.

  5. 5

    Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. You can serve this shredded over a fresh green salad or alongside some crusty bread to soak up the garlic juices.
