Instructions
Load the Slow Cooker
Place the halved onion at the bottom of the slow cooker to act as a bed for the chicken. Add the chicken breasts on top, then arrange the carrot batons and zucchini sticks around the chicken.
Add Liquid and Season
Pour the low sodium chicken stock over everything and sprinkle with the dried thyme. The liquid should come about halfway up the chicken ensuring moisture without drowning the vegetables.
Slow Cook Until Tender
Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or on high for 2 hours until the chicken is completely cooked through and very tender. The chicken should shred easily with two forks when done.
Shred and Serve
Remove the chicken and shred it into long thick strips following the grain of the meat. Return strips to the cooker to soak up juices, then serve with the softened carrot and zucchini sticks for baby to pick up.
