Throw a few ingredients in your slow cooker in the morning, and come home to a fully cooked meal. When you’re done with this chicken, use the bones for Lemon-Rosemary Bone Broth and get several more meals out of it.

Ingredients

• 1 whole free-range chicken

• 1 tbsp Golden Ghee, melted

• 1 tsp sea salt

• 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

• 1 lemon, quartered

• 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary leaves

• 10 garlic cloves, peeled

Directions

• Place the chicken in the slow cooker. Rub it all over with the ghee and season it with the salt and pepper.
• Squeeze the juice from 1 lemon quarter over the chicken and store the rind and a second lemon quarter inside the chicken cavity. Place the remaining two lemon quarters on top of the chicken legs.
• Sprinkle the chicken with the rosemary and place the garlic cloves inside the chicken cavity.
• Cover and cook for 6 to 8 hours on low. Serve hot.
