  • 1 cup arugula
  • 1 cup fresh basil
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

Instruction

  • Using a high-speed blender, blend all of the pesto ingredients on low until fully combined. Set aside half of the pesto in the fridge.
  • Add the chicken breast to the slow cooker and top with chicken broth and half of the pesto. Stir well to combine.
  • Place the lid on the slow cooker and set to low. Allow to cook for 2 – 2 1/2 hours or until the chicken is tender and the internal temperature reads 165 F.
