Creating this incredible dish is easy if you follow these steps:

Prepare the Chicken

Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

2. Sear the Chicken (optional): In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned, then transfer to the slow cooker.

3. Combine Rice and Broth: In a separate bowl, mix the uncooked rice, chicken broth, lemon juice, dried thyme, and oregano.

4. Pour Mixture into Slow Cooker: Carefully pour the rice mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker.

5. Add Lemon Slices: Place lemon slices on top of the rice for added flavor.

6. Set the Slow Cooker: Cover the slow cooker with the lid and set it to cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.

7. Check for Doneness: About 30 minutes before serving, check if the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should be 165°F).

8. Fluff the Rice: Once done, remove the chicken and fluff the rice with a fork. Stir in any additional seasonings if desired.

9. Serve: Shred the chicken or serve whole over the rice, garnished with fresh parsley. These straightforward steps will guide you to a delicious dinner without hassle.
