Crock Pot Chicken Thighs Recipe

Tender, juicy chicken thighs cooked in a flavorful sauce, perfect for an easy, hands-off dinner. Pair it with rice, potatoes, or veggies!


Ingredients (Serves 4-6):

  • 6-8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth (or white wine for extra flavor)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch (optional, for thickening sauce)
  • 2 tablespoons water (optional, for thickening sauce)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Prep the Chicken:

    • Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and paprika on both sides.
  2. Sear the Chicken (Optional for Extra Flavor):

    • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
    • Sear the chicken thighs for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
    • Transfer to the slow cooker.
  3. Prepare the Sauce:

    • In the same skillet, sauté the onion for 3-4 minutes until soft.
    • Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the chicken broth, soy sauce, and Dijon mustard, stirring to combine.
  4. Cook in Crock Pot:

    • Pour the sauce over the chicken thighs in the slow cooker.
    • Sprinkle dried thyme on top.
    • Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
  5. Thicken the Sauce (Optional):

    • Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and keep warm.
    • In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to make a slurry. Stir it into the sauce in the crock pot.
    • Cook on high for 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  6. Serve:

    • Return the chicken to the crock pot, coating it in the sauce.
    • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with your favorite side dish.

Tips:

  • For a creamy version, stir in 1/4 cup of heavy cream at the end.
  • Add vegetables like carrots, potatoes, or mushrooms to cook alongside the chicken for a complete meal.
