Slow Cooked Lemon Chicken

Instructions

1. In a bowl, combine the lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, olive oil, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

2. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

3. After marinating, heat a skillet over medium-high heat and lightly grease it with olive oil. Sear the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crust. This step helps lock in the juices and enhances the flavor.

4. Transfer the seared chicken breasts to a slow cooker. Pour the chicken broth over the chicken to keep it moist during cooking.

5. Set your slow cooker to low and cook the lemon-infused chicken for 4-5 hours, or until the chicken is tender and easily pulls apart.

6. Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and place it on a serving platter. Spoon some of the flavorful cooking liquids over the chicken to keep it juicy and add extra flavor.

7. Garnish your Slow Cooked Lemon Chicken with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.

8. Serve the tender lemon chicken alongside your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, steamed rice, or a crisp salad. The vibrant flavors of the dish will brighten up any meal and leave your guests asking for seconds.
