SLOW COOKER CREAMY LEMON CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a large cast iron skillet add 1 tablespoon of butter to melt on medium high heat.
• Add the kosher salt, black pepper and Italian seasoning to the chicken and add it to the pan.
• Cook on each side for 4-6 minutes.
• Add the chicken to your slow cooker.
• Cover with lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic and the rest of the butter in pieces (I added the lemons in the before picture just for reference. Don't cook the lemons in the slow cooker).
• Cook on low for 4 hours or on high for 2 hours.
• In a large measuring cup add the half and half, cornstarch and chicken base and whisk well.
• Add the liquid, mix, and cook an additional hour on high.

ANITA'S CROCKPOT LEMON CHICKEN

Steps:

• Use 4-6 large chicken breasts or mixed chicken pieces - bone-in or out. Put chicken in crockpot and Add 1+ cups of Lemon Juice mixed with 1/2 cup of Worcestershire Sauce. (I use RealLemon Brand lemon juice). If I have fresh lemons, I use the juice squeezed from 6 of them, which comes out to be about 1 cup, plus maybe 1/4 or so more, depending on your lemons. Put the stick of butter on top of all. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Salt and some pepper on chicken. Cover and cook on high for 6 hours or Low 10 hours. This makes a wonderful lemon sauce that is great on rice or mashed potatoes. The sauce is thin but it is still delicious. I've never tried thickening the sauce, but I don't imagine it would be difficult to achieve with a little flour the last hour or so of cooking. This can also be made in the oven -- Cook in 275 degree oven for about 2.5+ hours and baste with the lemon sauce from the pan frequently -- about every 30 minutes. Tender and delicious. My girls request this often.

CROCKPOT LEMON CHICKEN RECIPE

Steps:

• Cut the tops and bottoms off of the garlic heads and lemons. Cut the lemons in half. Place the garlic and lemons in the bottom of the crockpot insert.
• Combine the salt, pepper, and oregano in a small bowl. Season both sides of each chicken breast with the seasoned salt mixture.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Place the chicken breasts in the skillet to brown, 5 minutes per side.
• Transfer the browned chicken to the crockpot and place on top of the garlic and lemons.
• In a pot, whisk the chicken broth, lemon juice, and bouillon together. Pour over the chicken in the crockpot.
• Place thyme sprigs on top of the chicken.
• Cover the crockpot and cook on high for 3 hours or low for 6 hours. Remove the thyme springs, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot.

ULTIMATE SLOW COOKER LEMON CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Make rub for chicken. Combine mustard, 1 teaspoon of the lemon zest, oregano, thyme, 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 2 teaspoons of the olive oil in a small bowl. Use fingers or a brush to coat chicken on both sides with the mustard rub.
• In another bowl or measuring jug, combine remaining lemon zest (2 teaspoons), lemon juice and the chicken stock. Set aside. Note: Both the chicken and lemon-chicken stock mixture can be prepared up to one day in advance. Cover both and keep in the refrigerator.
• Heat remaining teaspoon of oil in a large oven-safe skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add the chicken, skin-side down, and cook 3 to 5 minutes or until the skin has turned golden brown and some fat has rendered.
• Transfer the browned chicken to a slow cooker and arrange in one layer with the skin facing up. Cover with lid then cook on LOW for 5 to 6 hours or until the chicken is cooked through. Save the skillet with drippings for making the sauce.
• Remove all but 2 tablespoons of fat from the skillet used to brown the chicken. If there is not enough fat, add butter so that 2 tablespoons of fat are in the pan.
• Place over medium heat until hot then whisk in the flour. Continue to whisk until the flour and fat turn into a smooth paste and look medium blonde in color; about 1 minute. Pour in the lemon juice-stock mixture and whisk until smooth.
• Bring the sauce to a low simmer. As it simmers, it thickens and becomes glossy. Transfer to a jar or measuring jug and refrigerate for when the chicken is cooked.
• When the chicken is done, it will be sitting in an inch or so of cooking liquid and rendered fat. Transfer the chicken to a plate then skim as much fat from the liquid as possible. There should be almost 2 cups of liquid left in the slow cooker.
• Warm the lemon gravy made earlier then add the lemon gravy to the slow cooker and stir until blended. Place the chicken thighs back into the slow cooker for serving or serve with the gravy drizzled on top.
