Here is my favorite crockpot chicken breast recipe using lemon juice and garlic.
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Lemon Garlic Chicken Instructions:
- Prepare the Chicken: Lightly season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place them in the crockpot.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a small bowl, mix the chicken broth, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, and thyme.
- Cook: Pour the mixture over the chicken in the crockpot. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The chicken is done when it is thoroughly cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Serve: Transfer the chicken breasts to plates. Spoon some of the cooking juices over the chicken. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
- Optional Additions: For a complete meal, you can add vegetables like carrots, potatoes, or onions into the crockpot around the chicken before cooking.
Serving Suggestions: Serve this lemon garlic chicken with a side of steamed vegetables, overcooked rice, or alongside a fresh salad for a complete meal.
This crockpot recipe is perfect for those busy days when you want a delicious meal waiting for you at home. The chicken turns out juicy and flavorful, with a delightful lemon-garlic aroma that is both comforting and inviting.
