Ingredients
- 2 lbs Chicken Breast
- 2 Celery Stalks, Chopped
- 1 cup Carrots I used the pre cut round ones because they're fun
- 1 cup Chicken Stock
- 1 White Onion, Sliced
- 1 Lemon, Juiced
- 1 Green Onion, Chopped
- 3 Garlic Cloves, Minced
- 1 tsp Dried Oregano
- 1 tsp Dried Thyme
- Salt & Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Pat dry your chicken breasts and season with oregano, thyme, salt and pepper.
- Add all of your ingredients to the slow cooker.
- Optional steps: Brown your sliced onions before putting into the slow cooker for a little extra flavor.
- Make sure to mix everything well. Cook on low for 4 hours.
- DO NOT LET CHICKEN SIT ON WARM SETTING AFTERWARDS. This will dry your chicken out. Be sure to serve with the sauce as this is where all that lemon flavor is.
