Follow these clear and concise steps to create your Slow Cooker Lemon Herb Chicken and Rice:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken thighs with garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Make sure they are evenly coated.
2. Add to Slow Cooker: Place the seasoned chicken in the bottom of the slow cooker.
3. Combine Rice and Liquid: In a separate bowl, combine the rice, chicken broth, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix well.
4. Pour Over Chicken: Pour the rice mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker.
5. Cook: Cover and set your slow cooker to low for 4 hours or high for 2 hours.
6. Add Peas: About 30 minutes before cooking is complete, stir in the frozen peas if using. Cover and continue cooking.
7. Check for Doneness: Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the rice is cooked through.
8. Shred Chicken: Before serving, shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker using two forks for a pulled-chicken texture, mixing it with the rice.
9. Garnish: Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.

This step-by-step process is designed for ease, ensuring you’ll achieve an amazing dish with minimal fuss.
