Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs chicken breasts fully thawed before slow cooking
  • 0.33 cup lemon juice
  • 0.75 cup chicken broth
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp dried oregano

Method
 

  1. Place the fully thawed chicken in the slow cooker.
  2. Pour in the lemon juice and broth, then add the garlic, butter, and oregano.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours until the chicken is tender. Check the thickest chicken pieces with a thermometer and continue only until they reach 165°F and are tender; start checking after 3 hours because thawed breasts may finish before the stated time.
  4. Slice the chicken and spoon the garlicky lemon broth over the top.
  5. Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices and serve with rice or potatoes.

Notes

Stir in the zest of one lemon at the end for an extra bright pop.
Thaw chicken fully in the refrigerator before beginning. The listed time is a planning estimate; thickness and slow-cooker performance vary.
