Crockpot Chicken Thighs

The crockpot is seriously the best kitchen appliance I have. With every recipe I am making in this, I am falling in love with this appliance! Here's why you must own a Slow Cooker if you don't already!

Crockpot Chicken Thighs tastes especially good because the Chicken Thighs gets cooked to perfection and also remains juicy. Chicken Thighs are the best piece in a Chicken. It's the juiciest piece in a Chicken. So cooking it on the stovetop generally dries it out easily. Hence, it's always a great idea to cook it in the Crockpot or Instant Pot.

My Crockpot Chicken recipes are the best of all. Have you tried my Cajun Butter Crockpot Chicken Thighs and Rice or Crockpot Chicken Thighs in Lemon Garlic Sauce or Crockpot Chicken Thigh Recipe with Asian Glaze or Crockpot Hawaiian Chicken with Sweet Pineapple Glaze or Honey Bourbon Chicken in Crockpot or Crockpot Coconut Lime Chicken.

🔪Ingredients

👩‍🍳Instructions

STEP 1: Dump and Forget

• Grease the inside of a crockpot with olive oil
• Add Cream Cheese, Parmesan Cheese, Garlic Powder, Heavy Cream, Water and few cloves of Garlic to the pot.
• I have used whole cloves of garlic here. These cloves of garlic when get cooked, plump up and tastes so good. Also, it doesn't make the sauce extra garlicky.

• Add some more grated Parmesan cheese on top

• Cover with the lid and slow cook on high for 2 hours or on low for 4 hours.

STEP 2: Garnish and Serve

• Or Cover and Keep warm until you serve.

📝Variations

• Garlic - For depth of flavors I have used both Garlic Powder as well as whole cloves of Garlic. This is what makes my sauce super garlicky and balances out the sweetness of heavy cream.
• Braised Chicken - You can alternatively, season the Chicken Thighs with salt, pepper and garlic powder and sear it in a skillet until golden brown on the outside. Searing the skin, gives the Chicken a gorgeous color and crispy texture on the outside. After the Chicken is Golden Brown, dump it in the Crockpot and Slow Cook in the Garlic Parmesan Sauce.
• Oven baked - You can make this same recipe in the oven. Just dumo everything in a 9x12 inch casserole baking dish and bake covered in a 200C or 400F preheated oven for 15-20 minutes.

💡Top Tips

• This is a very simple one pot recipe. You can add more veggies if you want along with the Chicken
• I have used Freshly grated Parmesan Cheese. You need to use grated Parmesan Cheese so that it combines with the sauce
• I have used a whole block of Cream Cheese. This Cream Cheese which i ahve used is softened. Softened Cream Cheese is easy to use and mixes well with the sauce
• I have used water to combine everything. You can use White Wine or Chicken Broth.
