Bone-in chicken thighs get seared until deep golden, then settle into the slow cooker with sliced onion and bell peppers for a base that turns rich and jammy over hours of low, steady heat. The sauce builds from diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and a savory splash of broth, studded with briny Kalamata olives and capers that bring a punch of salt and acidity to every bite. Garlic, oregano, thyme, and a hint of red pepper flakes round out that classic sun-drenched flavor profile without any fuss beyond loading the slow cooker and walking away. By the time it's done, the chicken pulls easily from the bone and practically falls apart in the sauce, ready to spoon over whatever you're serving alongside. A scatter of fresh parsley at the end brightens the whole dish and makes it look as good as it tastes. With its emphasis on olive oil, vegetables, herbs, and lean protein, this one lines up beautifully with a Mediterranean way of cooking and is an easy addition to the weekly rotation.

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season all over with the salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken thighs skin-side down in a single layer 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. Transfer to the slow cooker insert, skin-side up.
