Ingredients You’ll Need
(6-quart slow cooker)
- 2 lbs (900g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, raw
- 1 (14.5 oz) can low-sodium chicken broth
- ½ cup frozen petite peas (or fresh, if in season)
- Zest and juice of 1 large lemon (about 2 tbsp juice + 1 tbsp zest)
- ¼ cup heavy cream or half-and-half
- Plus: 2 cloves garlic, minced (often counted as part of the “5” in home cooking)
- Optional: 1 tsp dried thyme or 2 sprigs fresh dill
💡 Pro Tips:
- Add peas and cream LAST—they’ll turn mushy or curdle if cooked too long.
