I have a special treat for y’all. I’ve asked my friend, Cris, if she would be a guest on Southern Plate. She agreed to share her Slow Cooker One Pot Chicken Dinner! Y’all, this is one of the sweetest, cutest, ladies you could ever hope to meet. On top of that, she inspires me with her kindness and wisdom and it is a joy to be able to call her friend. I know you’ll enjoy getting to visit with her as much as I do! Gratefully, Christy
I am just so delighted to be visiting with ya’ll today! I was so honored when Christy asked me to stop by and share one of my favorite recipes with you. As a blogger it is so much fun to get to work with other bloggers like Christy, she is what we call back home– Good People ;).
So now the hard decision of what to share… what to share?
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.
Ingredients
- 6-10 Red Potatoes halved if large
- 1 Small Bag Baby Carrots

Since my husband really doesn’t like dark meat I hardly ever cook chicken thighs so can this be made with breasts? I always have frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts in my freezer. And it sounds really good.
It sure can!
I wonder if frozen thighs can be used or do they need to be defrosted first …. I keep several packages on hand in my freezer … thanks
Yes, you could use frozen thighs and it would work just fine!!
We have this for dinner atleast twice a month a my family of 5 loves it!!
This looks like a great recipe, Cris. I’ll definitely be trying it very soon.
I also appreciate your tip about broiling the chicken first if you’re using chicken with the skin on. I make another recipe in the crockpot with skin on chicken drumsticks and I always quickly brown them on the stove first. Silly me, I never thought to just pop them in the oven for a quick broil. That will be so much easier than the way I usually do it. Thanks so much for that tip and this recipe!
Christy, good luck finishing the book. I’ve been keeping you in my prayers as you’re in that home stretch. We can’t wait to see it!
Christy, I’m sure your 3rd book will be just as great as the first 2! Love em’…
Thank you so much for having faith in me Debbie!!!
