Instructions

    1.
    Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear until the skin is deeply browned and crispy. Flip and brown the other side briefly to lock in the flavor.
    2.
    While the chicken is browning, roughly chop the red onion, cauliflower, and savoy cabbage. Slice the garlic. Arrange the chopped vegetables in the base of the crockpot, creating a bed for the chicken.
    3.
    Nestle the browned chicken thighs on top of the vegetables in the crockpot. Pour the stock over the chicken and vegetables, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover the crockpot and cook on high for 2.5-3 hours, or until the chicken is completely cooked through and tender.
    4.
    Once the chicken is cooked, serve the crockpot meal hot. Pairs wonderfully with a side of buttery green beans for a complete and balanced meal.
