Instructions

Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden brown. Transfer to a slow cooker.
In the same skillet, sauté onions and carrots for about 5 minutes until softened. Add garlic, thyme, and rosemary; cook until fragrant. Stir in tomato paste and deglaze with chicken broth.
Transfer sautéed vegetables to the slow cooker along with potatoes and bay leaves. Add remaining broth. Cover and cook on HIGH for 4 hours.
About 30 minutes before serving, mix flour with some broth to create a slurry; stir in along with frozen peas.
Once cooked, shred the chicken and return it to the stew. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
