Method

Preparation

In a slow cooker, combine chicken breasts, chicken broth, lemon juice and zest, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Cooking

Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
About 30 minutes before serving, cook the jasmine rice according to package instructions using water or broth. Fluff with a fork when done.

Serving
