Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 medium Yellow onion (diced)
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce (low sodium)
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Begin by preparing your ingredients: mince the garlic, dice the onion, and measure out all seasonings and liquids.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken thighs for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. This step is optional but adds rich flavor.
In the base of your crock pot, add the diced onion and minced garlic.
Layer the seared chicken thighs on top of the onion and garlic.
In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the liquid mixture over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Set your crock pot to cook on low for 6-7 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
Once done, taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed. Optional: Remove the chicken and shred it for serving, or leave the thighs whole.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the chicken alongside steamed rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
