Italian Crockpot Chicken

This is a super easy and super delicious meal!  I love cooking it on a Sunday and I put it all together as soon as I get home from church, take a nap, lounge around, and viola...dinner is ready to be devoured!!! I like it with chicken thighs; bone and skin included.  I think the dark meat gives this dish a depth of flavor that white meat just can't give you.  Dark meat is also much cheaper...so this meal is way more bang for your buck! 

4 Chicken thighs
16 Ounce Bottle of Italian Dressing
1/2 Cup of Parmesan Cheese
4-6 Red potatoes scrubbed and cut in quarters
1/2 bag of mini carrots

Layer the ingredients as follows: potatoes, carrots, chicken.  Pour Italian dressing and Parmesan cheese over the top of the chicken.  Cook on low for 4-6 hours.

When the chicken is cooked and the veggies are soft, carefully take them out and place on a baking sheet.  Place under the broiler to give everything a nice char look and flavor.  This step is what takes this meal from good to great.  I have never been a fan of mushy potatoes and carrots with floppy chicken skin :(  Gross right...that is why the broiler is a must for this meal!!  Once everything has a beautiful golden brown glow...it's din-din time!!!!
