Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
- 1 cup chicken broth

- 2 teaspoons dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse the chicken thighs and pat them dry. Season generously with salt, pepper, thyme, and paprika.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of oil and sauté the diced onion for about 3-4 minutes until softened, then add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- In your crock pot, place the seasoned chicken thighs and layer with the sautéed onion and garlic.
- Pour in the chicken broth and top with mixed vegetables.

Notes
For best results, choose fresh vegetables and organic chicken. Adding a splash more broth halfway through cooking will keep the chicken moist.
