Four-Ingredient Lemon-Herb Chicken and Potatoes

Boneless thighs, baby potatoes, lemon and Italian seasoning cover dinner with four ingredients and no canned sauce. Keep the potatoes no larger than a walnut so they finish with the chicken. The lemon slices soften into the juices but shouldn't be eaten whole.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 1/2 lbs baby Yukon Gold potatoes halved
  • 1 lemon cut into 1/4-inch rounds
  • 2 tbsp salt-free Italian seasoning

Method
 

  1. Spread the potatoes across the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker and sprinkle them with one-third of the seasoning.
  2. Arrange the chicken thighs in one layer over the potatoes and sprinkle on the remaining seasoning.
  3. Lay the lemon rounds over the chicken without squeezing them.
  4. Cover and cook on low until the potatoes are tender and the chicken reaches 175°F, 4 to 4 1/2 hours.
  5. Discard the lemon rounds and transfer the chicken and potatoes to a platter.
  6. Spoon the lemony pot juices over the chicken, leaving excess fat behind.
