Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, thyme, and paprika.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and sear the chicken thighs skin-side down for 5-7 minutes until browned.
Place the sliced carrots and quartered onion at the bottom of the crock pot.
Add minced garlic atop the vegetables.
Pour in the chicken broth.
Place the seared chicken thighs on top of the vegetables.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4-6 hours.
Once cooked, ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Remove the chicken thighs and let them rest for a few minutes.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
