Serve the slow-cooked lemon garlic chicken hot. Enjoy!
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine to the lemon-garlic mixture.
To thicken the sauce, remove the chicken after cooking and whisk together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water. Stir the slurry into the slow cooker and cook on High for 15 minutes, or until thickened.
This recipe works equally well with bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs for a richer flavor.
Fresh herbs are best, but dried parsley can be substituted if needed. Use half the amount of dried parsley.

Nov 30, 2022I was skeptical about using bouillon granules, but it really enhanced the flavor of the chicken. I'll definitely make this again!

Oct 2, 2022The sauce was a little too tart for my taste, so I added a teaspoon of honey to balance it out. Perfect!
