Instructions
  1. Rinse chicken and pat dry with paper towels. Coat the external surface of the chicken with olive oil. Combine oregano, thyme, pepper, paprika and salt in a large bowl. Place chicken into the bowl and toss lightly to coat with the spices. Rub the spices all over chicken to make sure it is coated. Insert garlic into the cavity of chicken. Add more salt and pepper if needed.
  2. Place celery stalks across bottom of crock pot. Add chicken broth, just enough to cover celery. This will prevent the chicken from browning too much on the bottom. Place chicken in slow cooker, breast side up.
  3. Cover and cook on low for about 4 to 6 hours or until chicken reaches 165 degrees internal temperature and vegetables soften. Check for completeness using a meat temperature or insert a fork to ensure juices are clear.
  4. Carefully take out chicken from slow cooker. Brown the chicken by placing it in a large roasting pan and broiling until desired browness has been achieved.
Recipe Notes

Cauliflower rice is an excellent side for this meal.  Be sure to save some of the chicken stock for the rice recipe!

You can add mixed select phase 1 veggies to the slow cooker 30 minutes before you are ready to eat!
