1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

In a small bowl, mix the garlic salt, paprika, and pepper together.
1 teaspoon garlic salt, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon pepper
Sprinkle half of the seasoning mixture on the chicken thighs.
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
In a medium skillet over medium high heat add in 1 tablespoon oil and then place the chicken thighs skin down and sear for 2 minutes or until golden.
3 tablespoons olive oil
Combine the remaining seasoning mix with the minced garlic and remaining 2 tablespoons oil.
3 cloves garlic
Halve or quarter your baby potatoes depending on size.
1 pound baby potatoes
Toss the potatoes with the seasoning mix and place in the bottom of your slow cooker.
Add the chicken on top of the potatoes.
Cook on LOW heat for 6-7 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours.
Right before serving sprinkle with the parmesan cheese.
1 cup shredded Parmesan
Top with parsley for a pop of color if you like.

Serve!

Notes

Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 4 days.
If you prefer boneless chicken breasts or thighs, they will cook faster and possibly be a bit drier. Try 3-4 hours on LOW and make sure the chicken hits 165° and the potatoes are fork tender.
Every slow cooker runs differently. Times given are a general recommendation and should be tested in your own slow cooker and adjusted as needed.
