Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts about 1.5 lbs
  • 1.5 lbs baby red potatoes halved
  • 1 cup carrots peeled and chopped
  • 1 lb fresh green beans trimmed
  • 0.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 0.25 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 0.5 tsp salt or to taste
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper or to taste
  • 0.25 cup fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 6-quart Slow Cooker
  • 1 Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Place the halved baby red potatoes and chopped carrots in the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker.
  2. Arrange the chicken breasts on top of the vegetables in a single layer.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables. Secure the lid and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  5. Add the trimmed green beans to the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of the cooking time.
  6. Once cooking is complete, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker. Stir everything together to combine with the sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
