AN AFFORDABLE CROCK POT DINNER<\/h2>\n

The slow cooker is one of my go-to kitchen appliances. I don\u2019t care how many new shiny appliances come on the market, I still love my old faithful crock pot! This Slow Cooker Chicken Thighs Meal is super easy with a small amount of ingredients but also super filling! You can cook it on low or high depending on your timeframe and you will have a delicious dinner at the end! This meal is perfect for those nights when you are super busy but still feel like a home-cooked meal. Chicken thighs are a much more affordable cut of chicken so this is definitely a bit more budget-friendly as well.<\/p>\n

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:<\/h2>\n
\n
Do I have to use boneless skinless chicken thighs?<\/strong><\/p>\n

No, you could certainly use skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs. However, you may want to brown the skin of the chicken first before popping into the slow cooker. This will give the skin a nice golden brown color and add to the overall flavor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Can I use another type of potato?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Baby potatoes are the perfect size for these. You could also chop up large chunks of red or gold potatoes. Just avoid using any starchier potato like a russet potato.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I don\u2019t have smoked paprika, can I use something else?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, you can use regular paprika as well. I like the additional smoked flavor but it will taste just as good with the others. You can also omit the paprika and use Italian seasoning as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

How long does this need to cook?<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can cook this on low for 8 hour or high for 4 hours.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

How do I store leftovers?<\/strong><\/p>\n

This can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator where it will keep for up to 3 days. To reheat: place in the microwave until warmed through or place on a foil lined baking pan in the oven at 350 degrees F for 10-15 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
