🥘 Ingredients

14 items

• 6 pieces Bone-in chicken thighs
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium, diced Onion
• 3 medium, sliced Carrots
• 4 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 0.5 cup Dry white wine
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.

3. In the same skillet, add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.

4. Transfer the sautéed vegetables to the crockpot. Place the seared chicken thighs on top.

5. Pour the chicken broth and dry white wine into the crockpot. Sprinkle the dried thyme, rosemary, tarragon, and add the bay leaf.

6. Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through (internal temperature should read 165°F/74°C).

7. Once cooking is complete, carefully remove the bay leaf and discard it.

8. Garnish the chicken with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve warm with your choice of sides, like rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread.
