  3. Cover the bottom of your crock pot with half of your diced veggies and lay your chicken on top of them
  4. Place 1 clove of garlic and your 2 un-diced sprigs of thyme inside the bird
  5. Now sprinkle your diced thyme and remaining chopped veggies over the top of your chicken
  6. Juice a fresh lemon over the chicken and then place the lemon halves inside the cavity of the chicken
  7. Place in your crock-pot and cook on low for 6 hours
  8. I shredded all the meat and removed all the bones and placed it back in the broth in the crock pot and served it shredded with all the veggies
