Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on or skinless)
  • 1 cup chicken broth Use low-sodium for a healthier option
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • salt and pepper to taste Season generously
  • optional herbs like thyme or rosemary For added flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by gathering your ingredients. Ensure your chicken thighs are thawed if previously frozen.
  2. Season the chicken thighs generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. If you’re using optional herbs, sprinkle them on now as well.
Cooking
  1. Place the seasoned chicken thighs into the slow cooker. Pour the chicken broth over the thighs, ensuring they’re nicely submerged.
  2. Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, depending on your schedule.
Serving
  1. Once cooked, the chicken should be tender and easy to shred. Serve it with a side of rice, bread, or veggies, and enjoy!

Notes

Leftover Slow Cooker Chicken Thighs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze in freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove with a splash of chicken broth to maintain tenderness.
