Creating the Slow Cooker Lemon Herb Chicken and Rice is a straightforward process. Here are the steps to guide you:

1. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Spray the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray or lightly coat it with olive oil.
2. Add Chicken: Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker.
3. Mix Rice and Vegetables: In a separate bowl, combine the rice, diced onion, and minced garlic. Spread this mixture evenly over the chicken.
4. Combine Liquids: In another bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, water, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Pour this mixture over the rice and chicken.
5. Season: Sprinkle the dried thyme, oregano, salt, and black pepper over the top. Drizzle with olive oil for added richness.
6. Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender.
7. Shred the Chicken: Once cooking is complete, remove the chicken breasts and shred them with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir to combine with the rice.
8. Garnish: Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.

Following these steps will ensure that your Slow Cooker Lemon Herb Chicken and Rice turns out perfectly every time!
