Begin by zesting the orange and lemon into a small bowl, then juice both fruits and set aside. In a separate bowl, mix together the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper to create a herb blend.
Rub this mixture all over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated. Place the seasoned chicken in the crockpot and pour the citrus juice over the top.
Add the chicken broth and stir in the quinoa, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Layer the fresh spinach on top of the quinoa and chicken, pressing it down gently.
Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
Once done, remove the chicken and shred it using two forks, then return it to the crockpot and stir to combine with the quinoa and spinach.
Serve hot, garnished with additional lemon zest and fresh herbs if desired.
