LEMON GARLIC CHICKEN SLOW COOKER RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Liberally season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper. Place the chicken in the pan and sear until browned on the bottom, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer the chicken seared-side up to a 6-quart or larger slow cooker in a single layer. Add the broth, lemon juice, and garlic. Cover and cook on the LOW setting until the chicken is cooked through, tender, and registers 165°F on an instant-read thermometer, 3 to 4 hours. Meanwhile, place the butter and flour in a small bowl and use your fingers to rub the flour into the butter; set aside.
• Transfer the chicken to plates or a serving platter. Pour the liquid and garlic from the slow cooker into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the butter mixture and whisk constantly until completely incorporated into the sauce. Cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce is thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour over the chicken, sprinkle with parsley if desired, and serve.

Steps:

• Spray 3- to 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Place chicken thighs in slow cooker; sprinkle with grated lemon peel, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and the pepper. Pour chicken broth over chicken.
• Cover; cook on Low heat setting 4 to 5 hours.
• Remove chicken from slow cooker; place on plate, and cover to keep warm. In small bowl, mix remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, the cornstarch, lemon juice and cream until well blended. Stir into liquid in cooker. Cover; cook on High heat setting 15 to 20 minutes or until thickened. Serve chicken with sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley.
