Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth

Instructions

2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. (Optional step.)
3. Place the seasoned chicken in the crockpot.
4. Pour the chicken broth and soy sauce over the chicken.
5. Layer the mixed vegetables on top of the chicken.

7. Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).
8. For a different texture, shred the chicken with two forks before serving. (Optional.)
9. Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for added flavor and visual appeal.
10. Serve and enjoy your juicy chicken with your favorite side dishes.
Notes
For a low-carb option, skip the soy sauce or use coconut aminos. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. This recipe also works great for meal prep.
