Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons oregano (I sprinkled on more)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (could be less)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 pounds chicken thighs or breasts boneless and skinless
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 5-6 medium-size potatoes
- 4 cups chicken broth (I used low-sodium)
- 1 lemon
- 1/4 cups garlic peeled and minced
- 1 teaspoon parsley chopped, fresh -- optional
Instructions
- Note: when I made this, I shook the chicken in a bag with the spices, but it didn't seem to distribute very well. Below I'll show you how I did it this time, but in the future I may well just shake the spices on the chicken when it's in the pan.
- In a plastic bag, mix the oregano...
- ... salt...
- ... and pepper.
- Add the chicken to the bag (I used thighs), twist the top shut, and shake the meat around to distribute the seasonings.
- Melt the butter in a large pan over medium heat.
- Place the chicken in the pan...
- ... and sprinkle some more oregano over it if you feel it needs more. (I did.)
- Brown the chicken for 5 to 10 minutes on each side.
- While the chicken is cooking, juice your lemon. Pick out any pits.
- Put a crock-pot liner in your slow-cooker, if desired. Peel and chunk the potatoes into the bottom of the pot.
- When the chicken is browned, place it in the crock-pot on top of the potatoes. Don't clean that pan!
- Put the garlic into the chicken pan...
- ... and cook it for a minute or two until it is toasty tan.
- Add the lemon juice.
- Add the chicken broth.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan (deglazing it).
- Pour the mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker.
- Cover, and cook on low for 6 hours. Add the parsley to the slow-cooker 15 to 30 minutes before the end of the cook time if desired.
- Eat it up!

Made this to bring to visit Carlos: everyone must have been starving, because it was devoured. When we did "Highs and Lows," Carlos said his high was the chicken. 🙂
