Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1½ lb Chicken Breasts or Thighs
  • 1 cup Oats
  • 3-4 Carrots chopped, optional (or substitute your favorite vegetables)
  • 4 cups Water
  • 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Basil
  • 1 tsp Thyme
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Method
 

  1. In a slow cooker, add the chicken, oats, carrots, water, soy sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, basil, and thyme. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours.
  2. Remove the chicken and shred. Add shredded chicken back to the slow cooker, stir, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and continue to cook on low for 1 hour.
  3. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

If you do not have carrots on hand, I recommend adding a bag of frozen vegetables after you've added in the shredded cooked chicken. Alternatively, you can add your favorite chopped vegetables instead of the carrots at the start of the recipe.
