A delightful and easy-to-make slow cooker chicken recipe with a zesty lemon and herb flavor.
Prepare the slow cooker by lightly greasing it with non-stick spray.
Using a non-stick spray prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Zest the lemon and juice it, then combine the zest, juice, chicken broth, and minced garlic in a mixing bowl.
Fresh lemon juice and zest provide the best flavor; avoid using bottled juice.
Season the chicken breasts with oregano, seasoning salt, and pepper on both sides.
Ensure even seasoning for consistent flavor in every bite.
Place the seasoned chicken in the slow cooker and pour the lemon mixture over it.
Arrange the chicken in a single layer for even cooking.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to maintain a consistent temperature.
Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and keep it warm on a serving platter.
Cover the chicken with foil to retain heat while preparing the sauce.
Transfer the cooking liquid to a saucepan. Mix cornstarch with a small amount of water to create a slurry, then whisk it into the liquid.
Stir constantly to avoid lumps and achieve a smooth sauce.
Heat the sauce over medium heat until it thickens, stirring continuously.
Adjust the thickness by adding more slurry if needed.
Serve the chicken with the sauce drizzled on top, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Pair with your favorite side dishes like rice or vegetables for a complete meal.
