I don’t usually toot my own horn when it comes to new chicken recipes because if you Google chicken dinner, more recipes than you know what to do with show up in your search. BUT, you knew there was going to be a but here, these garlic and herb butter chicken thighs are worth bragging on. Or worth you making them in the near future. “Especially if you serve them alongside parmesan cauliflower rice!” say all 3 of my toddlers…

5 ingredients [including butter— CHA-CHING!], and a slow cooker, and you are set with one delicious weeknight meal. I did spend a few extra minutes browning the garlic and herb butter chicken thighs in a skillet and then transferred to the slow cooker insert. You could probably skip that step but it really does add an extra level of flavor to this recipe.

First comes skillet, then comes slow cooker!

I think Ted cringes a little when he sees we are having a slow cooker chicken dinner, mainly because a lot of slow cooker recipes tend to taste the same. I.e. the meat can get a little soggy when shredded. However, after I plated Ted’s meal and he took the first bite of this garlic and herb butter chicken thighs dish, I immediately got the nod to make it again. If that’s not a winner chicken dinner then I don’t know what is! Gobble gobble my friends! Or bawk bawk… [insert whatever poultry noise you’d like to make].

I should also add chicken thighs have much more flavor and texture than chicken breasts. They are a cut of meat I’d like to cook more with. Stay tuned! We may have more chicken thighs on the blog!

AND if I can so kindly ask: What’s your favorite recipe using chicken thighs?!

      I usually buy the “rice” as-is then saute with a little olive oil or butter, and grated parm! So simple and delicious!

      I buy Taylor Farms cauliflower rice, and saute for a few minutes with butter or olive oil, and LOTS of grated or shredded parm!! The kids devour it!

    AMAZING RECIPE!!! So easy & versatile!
    I can’t believe how much flavor came out of the dried spices!
    I did mine in the oven, Browned them then put pan straight into a 375 degree oven for 45 mins. I took thighs out of pan, added flour and made a gravy to serve with mashed potatoes. The chicken was juicy & tender. My family loved it! Definitely on the rotation!
