Ingredients

• 10 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed
• 4-5 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your slow cooker to high heat.

In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, thyme, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).

Add the chicken thighs and toss to coat evenly.

Cut 10 pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil, each about 12 inches square.

Divide the chicken thighs among the foil pieces, placing 1 thigh in the center of each square.

Add 1/2 cup of green beans and 1/2 cup of potatoes on top of each chicken thigh.

Fold the foil over the ingredients, creating a packet, and seal the edges by folding them over twice.

Place the packets in the slow cooker.

Cook on high for 6-8 hours or on low for 8-10 hours.

Serve hot and serve with your favorite sides!

Notes

For a crispy exterior on the chicken, make sure to pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels before tossing with the spice mixture.

If using cayenne pepper, adjust the amount according to your desired level of spiciness.

Use fresh green beans for the best flavor, but frozen green beans will work too – just thaw them first.

Cut the potatoes into roughly the same size cubes so they cook evenly.

You can prepare the packets ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator overnight, then cook them in the slow cooker the next day.

To ensure food safety, make sure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature.
