Herbert Hoover is associated with this phrase but there is no evidence that he ever said it.
This was campaign hyperbole used by the Republican Committee and it was printed in several newspapers. I talked to a gentleman at the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library in Iowa who sent me a copy of the article that appeared in the New York World in October of 1928.

President Herbert Hoover promised a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage, but Henry IV is credited with saying "I want there to be no peasant in my kingdom so poor that he is unable to have a chicken in his pot every Sunday", so maybe Hover just wanted to update this quote by adding the car in every garage.

What were the slogans or comments that Herbert Clark Hoover said?
During the 1928 Presidential race, Herbert Hoover ran under his famous slogan: "A chicken in every pot and a car in every garage." Clearly, the intended message was that he would bring about universal prosperity to Americans if he were to be elected. Ultimately, he was elected, but the economy suffered severely. The disillusioned public later mocked his promises by calling shanty towns erected by the homeless "Hoovervilles." Additionally, an empty pocket pulled completely out (illustrating the fact that they were so poor that they had nothing in their pockets) came to be known as a "Hoover flag."
