You can cook it 2 ways: At 350 degrees for 45 minutes if you have a multi cooker, or in Slow Cooker LO for 4 hours. Use your favorite rub, spice, or seasoning to coat the chicken before cooking.
Ingredients for one pot chicken thighs
- Skinless, boneless chicken thighs
- Texas Style Brisket Rub (or use your favorite seasonsings or rub)
- Oive oil
- Pressed garlic
- Large onion
- Cremini mushrooms
- Sweet potatoes
- White wine
For this recipe today, we used a brisket rub seasoning. It’s delicious on chicken, pork chops, and steak. But you can use your own favorite seasoning!
Prepare the chicken thighs in the rub (set aside).
Get a platter of vegetables ready–sweet potatoes, onions, and cremini mushrooms.
How to cook chicken thighs
Sear the chicken on the 450 degrees Sear setting (if using a multicooker), in several batches, at 1 minute on each side.
Or you can cook the meat on the stovetop.
Next add garlic and onions, for 1 minute, and then the sweet potatoes and mushrooms for 2 minutes, stirring while cooking; lightly add salt and pepper. I then switched the temperature to Saute mode {350 degrees} and added the white wine.
Do the same on stovetop, and add the white wine.
Place the chicken back on top of the vegetables and put the lid on!
Or if using a slow cooker, transfer the cooked meat to the slow cooker and add the vegetables and wine mixture on top.
45 minutes or 4 hours – your choice
Next, you have 2 choices. You can use the LO slow cooker mode and cook the chicken for 4 hours, or you can keep it at Saute 350 mode and cook for about 45 minutes (if you have a multi cooker).
A comfort dish indeed!
Enjoy this easy weeknight meal!

Color is easy, RED! to bring a touch of color to my kitchen.
What to cook is a bit more tricky. I think I’d like to put the cooker through its paces by choosing a recipe I adore, Bigos, Hungarian hunters stew.
It has chunks of beef and pork that need to sear, onions carrots and apple to saute then saurkraut, paprika, caraway and gluten free beer to simmer for a long while.
I can smell it cooking already!
Oops. Forgot to mention that I might try candy apple red since all my other small appliances are boring colors :)
I wonder if I could sear and then slow cook short ribs all in this thing? What a great appliance! On a side note, I went out and bought thighs and mushrooms before the snowstorm hit to try this recipe. Hope it turns out okay in a dutch oven!
I would choose red and cook chicken fajitas!
A soup or stew of just about any kind – nothing could be better for a wintery day here in Upstate NY!
Oops, I would want the stainless steel.
Definitely would make risotto!
I’d make my Bloody Mary Chicken! This is an amazing device. I love that it has a yogurt setting.
This would be great for a pot roast. I usually skip the searing step and go right to the slow cooker because I don’t want to dirty a pot. This is a great feature.
I would love to make a pot roast in the candy apple red colored multi-cooker!
I’m so excited about the sear option! I’d love to try a roast in it!
I would try that chicken thigh recipe. YUMMY!
Stainless color. I would make pulled pork and dream of summer barbecues!
I would make a pot roast with a lot of root vegetables,potatoes.My choice would definitely be Red!
I would choose the stainless steel color or black. I’d love to first make my award winning chili. We could really use some of that today with the weather we are having!
Pot Roast and potatoes and carrots. I’d love the red one!
The first recipe I would try in this new KitchenAid 4-Qt. Stainless-Steel Multicooker is osso buco. The color I would choose is Candy Apple Red.
The chicken thigh recipe looks amazing and I would choose red!!
I would make a stew and sear the meat first. How great is that, one pot does it all! I would choose the red, to match my stand mixer!
I think I would try a cacciatore first. I would LOVE the red one!
I’d love to try the chicken thigh recipe above and Julia Child’s Beef Bourguignon!
I think I’d choose the black, but it’s a hard decision! And I’m thinking soup or chili for the game this weekend!
I definitely would choose the black one and I would try chili first.
I would love to make cabbage rolls in my beautiful red multicooker.
This sounds wonderful! Would love it in stainless… I love sweet potatoes and chicken!!
