For an even richer flavor, consider searing the chicken thighs in a tablespoon of butter along with the oil. Serve over a bed of fluffy rice, quinoa, or alongside your favorite roasted vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal. If you like a thicker sauce, whisk one teaspoon of cornstarch with two teaspoons of cold water and add to the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
