Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 3 celery stalks, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
  • 1/4 cup cold water (optional, for thickening)

Instructions

  1. Place chicken pieces in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. Add chopped onion, sliced carrots, sliced celery, and minced garlic over the chicken.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes.
  4. Stir in thyme, rosemary, black pepper, and salt.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until chicken is tender and cooked through.
