Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 medium zucchini thickly sliced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley

Method
 

  1. Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker.
  2. Add the chicken broth, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Cover and cook on LOW for 4–6 hours, until the chicken is cooked through.
  4. Add the sliced zucchini during the final 45–60 minutes of cooking.
  5. Slice or shred the cooked chicken and spoon the cooking juices over the top.
  6. Garnish with chopped parsley and additional lemon juice if desired.

Notes

Add zucchini only during the final 45–60 minutes. For the best result, check the chicken for doneness rather than automatically leaving it for the maximum cooking time.
