Slow Cooker Chicken and Lentil Soup
This crock pot chicken and lentil soup is a total cozy comfort food. I love letting the slow cooker do all the work! This soup packs in a ton of warm spices, and the chicken is just so incredibly flavorful and tender.

 Combine green lentils, tomatoes, onion, minced garlic, cumin, oregano, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt in a slow cooker. Pour in chicken broth and stir gently to evenly distribute seasonings. Settle chicken thighs into broth, ensuring they are submerged in liquid.
  Cook on High for 4 hours. Chicken should be falling off the bone and lentils should be tender (if not, cook a little bit longer).
  Use tongs to remove chicken from soup to a cutting board. Pull meat off the bones with tongs and either rough chop or break apart into bite-sized pieces; discard the bones. Stir meat into soup and adjust seasonings as desired.
