But the zesty lemon isn\u2019t up for substitution. It\u2019s the dominant flavor and aroma of this wonderfully light, bright dish.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve browned the chicken breast, loading all the ingredients into a slow cooker makes it super easy too. You might even be surprised at how flavorsome and hearty a simple chicken breast can be, and you\u2019ll love the velvety lemon sauce to spoon over a heap of rice or mashed potatoes.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Slow-Cooker Lemon Chicken<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Chicken:<\/strong> The chicken breast halves will stay tender and juicy in the slow cooker. Remove the skin, as it will just turn the sauce greasy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Oregano:<\/strong> Dried oregano is one of the key flavors in this herby, aromatic sauce, and it holds its flavor during slow cooking.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Seasoned salt and pepper:<\/strong> The seasoned salt tenderizes the chicken a little, but mainly it brings out the other flavors. Pepper gives the sauce depth, but you could try red chili flakes for a little heat.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Butter:<\/strong> Use salted or unsalted butter to brown the chicken without making the dish oily.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lemon juice:<\/strong> Use freshly squeezed lemon juice if you can, and grate some of the zest too.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Garlic:<\/strong> Minced garlic (or whole cloves) goes so well with chicken and oregano.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chicken bouillon:<\/strong> The white breast meat has little flavor, so you\u2019ll need to use bouillon to create a simmering stock.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fresh parsley:<\/strong> As well as the herby notes, parsley adds a lovely pop of color to the finished dish.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rice:<\/strong> Prepare your preferred variety of steamed or boiled rice and keep it warm. You&#8217;ll pile the finished chicken on top.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Prep the chicken<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2042466\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Slow-Cooker-Lemon-Chicken_TOHD24_11719_EricKleinberg_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Taste Recipes Slow Cooker Lemon Chicken recipe photo of seasoned chicken.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">ERIC KLEINBERG FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.

Rice must also be heated through thoroughly. That said, those lemony flavors are even more impressive on day two, and the chicken will still be moist and tender.<\/p>\n<h2>Slow-Cooker Lemon Chicken Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2042471\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Slow-Cooker-Lemon-Chicken_TOHD24_11719_EricKleinberg_6.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Taste Recipes Slow Cooker Lemon Chicken recipe photo of the finished recipe served on plates.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">ERIC KLEINBERG FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What other vegetables can you add to slow-cooker lemon chicken?<\/h3>\n<p>To bulk out the volume of this already filling dish, perhaps to stretch it to an extra guest or two, you can add chopped spinach, celery or French green beans, none of which will overwhelm the signature flavors.<\/p>\n<h3>Why does my sauce taste bland?<\/h3>\n<p>Slow cooking can draw the flavor out of a dish, but it\u2019s usually because of overestimating how much water you need. So either use stock only (and less of it), or boost the flavor by adding preserved lemons, a dash of cream or another round of grated lemon zest just before serving.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?<\/h3>\n<p>The advantage of our slow-cooked lemon chicken recipe is that it\u2019s tender and bone-free, but if you want a richer chicken flavor and an oilier, more unctuous finish, it\u2019s possible to use bone-in chicken thighs with the skin removed.

Chicken was overcooked, a bit dry.  Flavor is wonderful.  I added baby carrots for the last hour but had to steam them separately to get them soft.  When I make this again I will cook smaller pieces of chicken for a shorter time, maybe 2 hours.

It is too dry. I used boneless chicken breasts and increased the seasoning a great deal, and I shredded the chicken to go over the rice. It was just too dry, but the seasoning is absolutely delicious. Next time, I may just skip the rice, but I'd rather keep it with an actual sauce.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2015-09-09","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"JenCooks1"},"reviewBody":"Made this for dinner last night and it was outstanding.  Absolutely use the spinach... I had a box of frozen spinach; just thawed it a bit in the microwave, and added it with its liquid to the slow cooker.  I also added a can of cream of chicken soup, and used boneless skinless chicken thighs.  Lemon makes the dish.  I have a newer slow cooker, and it just took 4 hours on low; would have been fine at 3 hours, because the chicken is already slightly browned and mostly cooked when it goes in the cooker.  Think the cream of chicken, or cream of mushroom soup will keep this from being dry.  It was fall-apart good, and full of flavor.  I served it over whole wheat spaghetti.  Big fan of this recipe with these slight modifications.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2013-01-28","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Amyche"},"reviewBody":"I love this recipe, I've made it many times. I like to substitute real lemons in for the lemon juice. I find that real lemons have a softer taste than store bought juice. I usually cut 1 lemon in half, squeeze out the juice from one half and then cut the other half in slices and throw them in too.Recently I tried this recipe in a clay baker, and it turned out fabulous as well. I wouldn't hesitate to do it in the oven again. I agree with another comment, that it doesn't hurt to add additional other ingredients, while keeping the lemon the same, but either way it's great!","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2016-03-14","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"chsmoak"},"reviewBody":"Made it exactly to recipe but used thighs as we love dark meat.

I used boneless skinless chicken breasts and followed a few of the reviews on the recipe. I used less lemon juice because I didn't want the lemon to be too overpowering. I sauteed fresh mushrooms and spinach in the lemon\/water mixture. I then poured that over the chicken in the crockpot and added a can of cream of mushroom soup. I added the soup because I wanted more sauce to serve over rice. I also only cooked it for 3 hours on low in my crockpot. The chicken was very moist and flavorful.

We use it for boneless skinless breasts diced for salads and change the toppings.  It goes well with roasted corn and beans and marinated tomatoes and zucchini.  I don't keep seasoned salt in the house so instead I sprinkle chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, pepper and oregano on before browning.
