Slow Cooker Garlic Chicken and Veggies

PLEASE NOTE: this recipe is NOT mine to see the original go to the 365 days of slow cooking blog (I reproduce it here as I would hate to loose this recipe - it's delicious!)

 Makes 4 servings

4 bone-in chicken thighs, skin removed and trimmed (or boneless, skinless chicken thighs)- i used breast meat as I prefer leaner meat

4 large red potatoes, cut into small wedges (about 8 per potato)

1 large carrot, thinly sliced

2 Tbsp olive oil

2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice

1 Tbsp minced garlic 

2 tsp dried oregano

Salt and pepper

1.  Place potatoes and carrots in bottom of slow cooker.  Salt and pepper.

2.  Place chicken on top of potatoes.  Salt and pepper.

3.  In a small bowl combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and oregano.  Spoon over the top of the chicken.

4.  Cover and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours, until potatoes are soft. (I cooked on LOW for 4 hours and then HIGH for the last hour to get the potatoes soft)

5.  Serve with extra lemon juice, if needed.
