How about a recipe we make all the time at our house: Slow Cooker One Pot Chicken Dinner.  As you might imagine, we make all kinds of slow cooker recipes at our house for our site Recipes That Crock! So, I tell my readers if I am sharing a recipe that we make over and over again, you know it is serious good. And, this my friends is SERIOUS good and so easy to throw together.

We have made this a million different ways… with chicken legs, a whole chicken, different kinds of veggies, herbs, etc. But today I am going to share my VERY favorite way with you– boneless skinless chicken thighs and fresh rosemary. Those thighs have just enough fat in them to crock up nice and juicy without drying out and I love me some rosemary!

This is one of those dishes that is purely dump and go and perfect every time. You simply layer your veggies, seasoning as you go and top with your chicken and herbs. As the chicken cooks up, the drippings make for a delicious broth that the veggies cook up in all day.

Notes

NOTE: If you choose to make it with a whole chicken or chicken legs or thighs that still have skin on them, I like to broil them for a few minutes after they get done slow cooking to crisp up the skin a bit. I just lay them out on a cookie sheet and pop them under the broiler, watching them very closely so they don't burn. You can also pull them out and rotate them if you like.
