Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
Sear the chicken thighs in the skillet for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, lightly sauté the smashed garlic cloves until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a small bowl, whisk together the roasted garlic paste, garlic powder, chicken broth, and lemon juice.
Place the seared chicken thighs in the crock pot in an even layer.
Scatter the sautéed garlic cloves and rosemary sprigs over the chicken.
Pour the garlic-broth mixture over the chicken, ensuring it's evenly coated.
Cover and cook in the crock pot on low for 4 hours or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
