Instructions

Place chicken, rice, onion, garlic, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and chicken broth in your crockpot.
Gently stir until everything is submerged beneath the liquid.
Cover and cook on low for 4–5 hours (or high for 2–3 hours) until rice is tender and chicken shreds easily.
Remove chicken to a plate, shred it with two forks, then stir it back into the rice mixture.
Fold in diced carrots and peas, cover, and let them warm through for about 10 minutes.
Turn off the crockpot, sprinkle chopped parsley on top, and fluff the rice with a fork.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add other vegetables like bell peppers or corn.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Feel free to adjust the seasonings to taste.
