Ingredients

6 servings

2 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 4 thighs)
1 tsp kosher salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
3 stalks celery, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 lb yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks
2 tbsp tomato paste
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried rosemary
2 bay leaves
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 cup frozen peas

For serving

2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season all over with the salt and pepper.
2
Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear undisturbed for 4–5 minutes, until the skin is deep golden brown and releases easily from the pan. Flip and sear the second side for 2 minutes, then transfer to the slow cooker insert.
