Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 medium carrots sliced
  • 3 stalks celery sliced

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 2 cups baby spinach

  1. Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the crockpot. Add the chicken broth, diced onion, minced garlic, sliced carrots, sliced celery, thyme, oregano, bay leaf, salt, and pepper.
  2. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  3. Remove the chicken from the crockpot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.

  5. Squeeze in the lemon juice before serving for a bright flavor. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
