Begin by seasoning the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of smoked paprika for depth of flavor.
In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of apple cider, 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard, and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup to create a savory glaze.
Place the seasoned chicken thighs in the crockpot and pour the apple-cider glaze over them, ensuring they are well-coated.
Chop 2 medium carrots, 1 large parsnip, and 1 medium sweet potato into bite-sized pieces and add them to the crockpot around the chicken.
Toss in 1 cup of diced onion and 2 cloves of minced garlic for added aroma. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of dried thyme and 1 teaspoon of rosemary over the top for an herbal touch.
Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the chicken is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
Once done, remove the chicken and vegetables, and stir the remaining liquid in the crockpot to create a flavorful sauce.
Serve the chicken and vegetables on a plate, drizzling the sauce over the top for a beautiful presentation.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness before serving.
