  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 cups baby carrots
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Equipment

  • Two Forks

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place the chicken thighs at the bottom of the slow cooker.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together chicken broth, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Pour the liquid mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker.
  4. Add the quartered red potatoes and baby carrots around and on top of the chicken.
Cooking
  1. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and easily shreds.
  2. Remove and shred the chicken with two forks, then stir it back into the sauce with the vegetables.
Serving
  1. Serve hot, with fresh parsley for garnish if desired.

Notes

For best results, make sure the chicken is fully submerged in the liquid for maximum flavor and tenderness.
