easy chicken dinners

This Creamy Lemon Butter Chicken is an ultra flavorful comfort-food entree that's easy to make in your slow cooker! Tender chicken breasts are cooked in a buttery lemon garlic sauce for a family dinner that will go down in history.

Creamy Lemon Butter Chicken

tbsp unsalted Challenge Butter

boneless, skinless chicken breasts

chicken broth

half and half

lemon juice

garlic cloves, minced (or 1 1/2 tsp minced garlic)

salt

tsp black pepper

thyme

oregano

paprika

cornstarch

Add the butter to a microwave safe bowl and heat until melted. Set aside.

2. Place the chicken breasts into a 6 quart slow cooker.

3. In a large bowl or measuring cup, combine the chicken broth, half and half and lemon juice, then add the garlic, salt, pepper, thyme, oregano and paprika. If it curdles a little bit, that’s fine.

. Add the melted, cooled butter to the lemon mixture and stir to combine.

. Pour the lemon butter mixture over the chicken, then cover the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 3 hours or LOW for 7 hours. Slow cookers can vary a little so adjust cooking time as needed.

. Remove about 1 cup of the lemon butter mixture from the slow cooker and whisk in the corn starch. Add it back into the slow cooker and stir to combine.

. Place the top back on the slow cooker and cook for another hour, then serve.

Thank you. I was looking for the answer too as we don’t have half and half in Australia. 

That was delicious! I just made it. My Kids and I both loved it. Thanks for the recipe!

Oh my gosh this has amazing flavour!! This is the first non baking recipe I've tried on this site and I can't wait to share this with my cooking friends, and even my non cooking friends because it's so easy and so delicious! I added mini potatoes to the sauce and they picked up the delicious buttery, lemon herby flavour..

Hi there! I'm going to make this tomorrow while I'm away at work so the longer cook time on low is probably the way to go. I have some skin-on bone in breasts that need to be used up. How would I adjust the cooling time accordingly? I also have some heavy cream that needs to be used up. Can I use that instead of half and half? Thanks!

Hmmm, this didn't work out for me. The half and half curdled slightly when I added it to the lemon juice, then curdled further during the cooking process.  After adding the corn starch and completing the cooking time, the whole thing ended up as this gelatinous, curdled, clumpy unappetizing glop! I managed to rescue the chicken from the sauce and we ate that over rice. The flavor was good, I'll give it that, but maybe it would work better to just add the half &amp; half at the end?

I'm thoroughly enjoying this website and all the recipes! I'm starting a cooking book club with your book where we will all bring one item of yours to share!  I made this for dinner and it went over well with the family.  I thought it was a little too lemony ( I used bottled lemon juice). Overall it tasted really good and was easy to make.  I used frozen chicken breasts and cooked on low for 8 hours. I probably could have used less cornstarch as well as it did thicken up quite a bit. Keep the crock pot recipes coming!

I made this recipe yesterday and my husband and my son loved it! I didn't have corn starch so I used some flour to thicken the sauce. I will definitely be making it again. Please post more crock pot recipes. This saved me so much time and tasted delicious.

I made this recipe last night and it was a hit! the sauce is SO good!

I made this yummy lemon chicken Sunday before going to church.  Came home to a great dinner. I had to double it for more family.  It was a big hit.
Thank you.
