Super Easy Crock Pot Chicken

serves 5
Prep time 5 min.
Cook time 4–5 hrs.

This chicken is so soft and juicy. This recipe is my go-to on those busy days when cooking supper looks overwhelming. Also the broth makes great gravy!

⦁ 4-5 chicken thighs (bone in) or leg and thighs
⦁ 3 cups water
⦁ 2 garlic cloves sliced finely
⦁ 1/2 cup onion chopped
⦁ 1/4 teaspoon salt
⦁ season all
⦁ garlic powder
⦁ chili powder

1 Place chicken in the crock pot and add water then toss in the garlic slices and onion.
2 Sprinkle chicken with salt and then the rest of the seasonings. (roughly a few dashes of each seasoning on each thigh.)
3 Cook on high for 4 1/2-5 hours depending on your crock pot size and strength. see note.*

Note* I currently use a 2.5 quart slow cooker and a 7 quart crockpot. Usually if my chicken is only partially thawed the 2.5 quart will take a good 5- 5 1/2 hours. This morning for lack of time, ( I kinda forgot about the chicken while I was busy with the kids.) I used my 7 quart crock pot and it cooked the chicken beautifully in 4 1/2 hours time.
I suggest thawing your chicken completely before cooking it but if you are a busy and forgetful mother like I am then the crock pot is very forgiving. Just add another half hour to hour depending on how frozen your chicken is.
