Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by patting the chicken thighs dry to ensure a nice sear if you choose to brown them beforehand. Then, chop your potatoes and carrots into bite-sized pieces, allowing them to cook evenly.
  2. Place the chopped potatoes and carrots at the bottom of the slow cooker, creating a cozy bed for the chicken to rest on. Add the chicken thighs on top and sprinkle minced garlic over everything.
  3. Melt the butter over low heat, blend it with the garlic, and stir in the chicken broth and fresh herbs. Pour this sauce over the layers in your slow cooker.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and set to LOW for 6 hours or HIGH for 3 hours, keeping the lid closed to lock in flavors.
  5. Check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it reaches at least 165°F. Let the dish rest for about 10 minutes with the lid on before serving.
