Ingredients

• 2 pounds boneless chicken thighs, skinless
• 1 cup chopped carrots
• 1 cup chopped potatoes
• 1 cup chopped bell peppers
• 1 onion, diced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent, about 3 minutes.
2. Transfer the sautéed onion and garlic to the slow cooker, then layer the chopped carrots, potatoes, and bell peppers on top.
3. Place the boneless chicken thighs on top of the vegetables and season with Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
4. Pour the diced tomatoes (with their juices), chicken broth, and Worcestershire sauce over the chicken and vegetables, ensuring everything is well-coated.
5. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
6. In the last 30 minutes of cooking, stir in the frozen peas to heat through.
7. Once done, shred the chicken in the slow cooker using two forks and mix everything together for even distribution.
8. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley, and enjoy your delicious family slow cooker meal!
