Ingredients:

  1. 4 1/2 - center-cut bacon slices, diced
  2. 112 pounds - bone-in chicken thighs, skinned
  3. 2 teaspoons - salt-free garlic-and-herb seasoning blend (such as Mrs. Dash)
  4. 2 cups - thinly sliced leek (from 2 large leeks)
  5. 1 cups - sliced carrot (from 2 large stalks)
  6. 1 cups - sliced celery (from 2 large stalks)
  7. 4 cups - unsalted chicken stock, divided
  8. 3/4 teaspoons - kosher salt
  9. 1/2 teaspoons - freshly ground black peppler
  10. 5 - thyme sprigs
  11. 12 ounces - baby potatoes
  12. 2 cups - coarsely chopped baby spinach

Directions:

Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high until crisp. Remove bacon from pan, reserving 1 teaspoon drippings in pan. Set bacon aside.

Sprinkle chicken with seasoning blend. Add chicken to bacon drippings in pan; cook 8 minutes, browning on all sides. Transfer chicken using a slotted spoon to a 6-quart electric slow cooker, reserving any drippings in pan. Add leek, carrot, and celery to drippings in pan; sauté 5 minutes. Stir in 1 cup stock, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Add leek mixture, bacon, remaining 3 cups stock, salt, pepper, and thyme sprigs to slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW for 2 hours. Add potatoes; cover and cook on LOW for 2 more hours or until potatoes are tender.

Remove chicken from slow cooker with a slotted spoon; discard thyme sprigs. Cut chicken into bite-size pieces; discard bones. Return chicken to slow cooker; add spinach, stirring until spinach wilts.
