- Transfer the sautéed onion and garlic mixture to the slow cooker. Layer 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts on top, ensuring they are evenly spread out.

- Squeeze the juice of one fresh lemon over the contents.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 3-4 hours or on high for 1.5-2 hours.
- Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it before returning it to the slow cooker.
- Stir in 1 cup of frozen peas and let warm for about 5 minutes.
- Return shredded chicken back into the slow cooker and mix to combine. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper.

Notes
Fresh herbs improve flavor. Rinse the uncooked rice to avoid stickiness. Always taste before serving to adjust seasoning accordingly.
