Begin by placing 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of your crockpot. In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of fresh basil leaves, the juice of 2 lemons, 1/4 cup of olive oil, 2 cloves of garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt to create the lemon-basil pesto.
Pour the pesto mixture over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Next, chop 1 red bell pepper, 1 zucchini, and 1 cup of cherry tomatoes into bite-sized pieces.
Add the chopped vegetables to the crockpot around the chicken. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of dried oregano and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper over the top of the vegetables.
Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Once cooked, remove the chicken and vegetables from the crockpot and serve immediately, garnished with additional fresh basil if desired.
Enjoy your flavorful and nutritious meal!
