Instructions

Keep Screen Awake

Add chicken to a slow cooker and top with onion, garlic, bay leaves, poultry seasoning, barley, and chicken broth. In a bowl, whisk together the water, lemon juice and Better than Bouillon until the bouillon paste is incorporated, then pour it over everything in the slow cooker.
Cook on high for 3 hours or low for 5-6 hours. About 30 minutes before serving, shred the chicken and add the spinach to the slow cooker. Taste for salt & pepper and if you want more lemon flavor, add more lemon juice. Keep on "warm" for about 20-30 minutes or until the spinach has wilted. Serve with a side salad and some crusty bread. Enjoy!
