Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs skin-side down for 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown. Flip and sear the other side for 2 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Remove from heat.
Layer the sliced onions, carrots, and baby potatoes in the bottom of the Crock Pot or Dutch Oven.
Place the seared chicken thighs on top of the vegetables.
Add the lemon slices and rosemary sprigs over the chicken.
Pour the chicken broth and white wine (if using) over the chicken and vegetables.
Cover and cook on low heat in the Crock Pot for 6 to 8 hours, or in the Dutch Oven at 300°F (150°C) for 4 hours, until the chicken is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
Serve hot, garnished with extra rosemary or lemon slices if desired.
