Instructions
  1. Chop your potatoes, carrots, and onion into uniform, 1-inch pieces. Place them in the bottom of your crockpot.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, paprika, salt, and pepper. Place the chicken thighs on top of the vegetables. Pour the seasoning mixture over the chicken and vegetables, tossing gently to coat everything well.
  3. Pour the chicken broth around the edges of the crockpot. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
  4. The chicken should be fall-apart tender and the potatoes perfectly cooked. Serve hot, spooning some of the delicious sauce from the pot over each serving.
