Instructions

  1. Step 1: Place the 1.5 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs in the slow cooker, skin side up. Season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Arrange the 3 peeled and diced carrots (1/2-inch pieces), 3 peeled and cubed potatoes (1-inch cubes), and 2 diced celery stalks around the chicken.
  3. Step 3: Sprinkle the 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp dried thyme, and 1/2 tsp dried rosemary over the vegetables, then pour in the 4 cups chicken broth. Season with the remaining 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  4. Step 4: Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or until the chicken is easily pulled from the bone and vegetables are tender.
  5. Step 5: Remove chicken thighs, shred meat from bones (discard bones/skin), and return to slow cooker. Stir to combine and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.
  6. Step 6: Taste and adjust seasoning, then garnish with 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley before serving.
