  • Slowly add chicken stock, stir to combine, and return to a simmer. Remove skillet from the heat.
  • Place carrots and celery in the slow cooker. Place roast over the vegetables and pour in any accumulated juices. Add rosemary and thyme.
  • Pour onion and mushroom mixture over the top of the roast. Cover slow cooker, turn to high and cook the roast for 5-6 hours, until the meat is fork tender.
  • Skim off any fat from the surface and remove the bones. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
