Ingredients
Instructions
-
Prep the chicken thighs by patting them dry with paper towels and seasoning them generously with salt and pepper.
-
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs, skin side down, until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Flip and sear the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes. Transfer the chicken to your crockpot.
-
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant and the onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
-
Add the diced tomatoes (with their juices) to the skillet. Stir to combine with the onions and garlic, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
-
Pour the tomato mixture over the chicken thighs in the crockpot. Add the chicken broth, dried thyme, paprika, and an additional sprinkle of salt and pepper.
-
Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on low heat for 4-6 hours or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
-
Once the chicken is done cooking, use a slotted spoon to transfer it to a serving dish. Spoon the sauce over the chicken thighs and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
-
Serve your delicious crockpot chicken thighs with your favorite sides, such as steamed rice, mashed potatoes, or a crisp salad. Enjoy the tender, flavorful chicken that practically falls off the bone!
