Preparation
  1. Place the chicken thighs in the crockpot, then layer the diced potatoes, chopped carrots, and onion on top.
Cooking
  1. In a bowl, combine chicken broth, minced garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture over the ingredients.
  2. Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or high for 4–5 hours, until the chicken and vegetables are tender.

Notes

Serve hot with a sprinkle of fresh parsley on top and paired with warm bread or a side salad. To store leftovers, let cool, transfer to an airtight container, and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. For extra flavor, consider browning the chicken beforehand or adding more herbs.
