These slow cooker chicken thighs are so easy and delicious. The chicken comes out incredibly tender and flavorful. We call for 8 thighs, but feel free to fit as many pieces (thighs or breasts) as you can in a single layer in your slow cooker (they’ll shrink while cooking). I always brown my chicken first for extra flavor and beautiful color, then use the same skillet to make our quick lemon gravy.
