Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 chicken breasts
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2-3 Tbs Flour or arrow root
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp Hungarian paprika
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/3 butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 lemon zested
  • 1/2 lemon juiced

Instructions
 

  • Place chicken breasts directly in the crock pot.
  • Next, add in chicken broth,
  • In a separate bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, salt, paprika, basil and pepper. Pour over the chicken.
  • Cut up butter and place directly over the chicken breasts.
  • Place garlic into crockpot, followed by lemon zest. Then, squeeze the entire lemon over the chicken.
  • Let sit on high for 3-4 hours (may very by crockpot!) Once it starts to fall apart, you know it's done!
  • Once the chicken is done, remove 1/2 cup worth of the broth and add to a mixing bowl and combine with approx. 2 tablespoons of flour. Add butter mixture back to crockpot and whisk together to thicken sauce.

Notes

I love this creamy, lemon chicken served with white or brown rice and a side of steamed broccoli! I hope you and your family love it!
