Equipment
- Crockpot
- Large skillet
- Plate
- Wooden spoon
- Small Mixing Bowl
- Measuring Spoons
Ingredients
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 2 lemons juiced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley minced
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Season both sides of your chicken breast with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the skillet and brown both sides. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
- Add the garlic to the skillet and cook for one minute until golden brown. Stir in the chicken broth, lemon juice, garlic, and fresh parsley. Using a wooden spoon, scrape up any brown bits at the bottom of the pan. Pour the mixture into the bottom of your crockpot.
- Add the chicken into your crockpot and cover.
- Cook on high for 3 to 4 hours or low for 4 to 6 hours. During the last 30 minutes of cooking, stir together the water and cornstarch in a small mixing bowl. Stir the slurry into the crockpot and cover.
- Serve over mashed potatoes, pasta, or rice, and enjoy.
Notes
If you would like to make this an even quicker meal, you can add the ingredients directly to the crockpot, but skipping the browning step will affect the texture of the chicken.
