Nestle the chicken thighs into the pot in a single layer. Add the thyme, rosemary, 1/2 tsp salt, and black pepper, then pour in the chicken broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the chicken is cooked through and reaches 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer, about 20 minutes.
