Instructions

Add the carrots, celery, onion, herbs, salt and pepper to the insert of a 6 quart slow cooker.
Remove the neck and giblets bag from the chicken and add the chicken, breast side up on top of the veggies.
Pour the chicken broth and water over the top. Cook on high for 6 hours or low for 10 hours.
Remove the sprigs of parsley and thyme and discard. Skim the top for any excess fat and discard it.
Remove the chicken, carrots and celery, chop into bite size pieces and shred the chicken. Add the chicken, celery and carrots back into the soup.
Serve with cauliflower rice, zucchini noodles, Palmini noodles, spaghetti squash or other Keto friendly noodle.

Notes

You can also make this using boneless or bone in chicken breasts instead. You will just need to adjust the cooking time down to about 2-3 hours on high or low for 4-6 hours.
