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.

    I added some sliced onions and bell peppers to the slow cooker, and it was amazing! The vegetables absorbed all the delicious lemon-garlic flavor.

  • Coty Spinka

    This recipe is a lifesaver! So easy to prepare, and the chicken comes out incredibly tender and flavorful. My family loves it!

  • Brianne Stanton

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

  • Chet Bayer

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