Instructions

Sear the chicken: Pour olive oil into a skillet over medium-high heat. Let it warm until shimmering. Add the chicken breasts and sear until golden brown, about 4 minutes on each side.
Move to crockpot: Carefully transfer the seared chicken to your crockpot.
Sauté onion and garlic: In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
Combine ingredients: Pour the onion-garlic mixture over the chicken in the crockpot.
Make the sauce: In a bowl, whisk together chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, and Dijon mustard, then add smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Add sauce to crockpot: Pour the sauce over the chicken and onions in the crockpot.
Cook: Place the lid on the crockpot and set it to cook on low for 360 minutes (6 hours).
Thicken the sauce (optional): Mix cornstarch with water and add to the crockpot about 30 minutes before serving.
Garnish: Before serving, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.
