Slow Cooker Creamy Lemon Chicken

Slow Cooker Creamy Lemon Chicken With Butter, Garlic And Lemon Coating Tender Chicken Breasts In A Creamy Sauce. Even Great As A Pasta Topping! Slow Cooker Creamy Lemon Chicken bucks the general rule of thumb I live by with slow cooker chicken recipes. I almost NEVER add chicken breast to a slow cooker. My Slow Cooker Thai Peanut Chicken is one of the only exceptions on the site along with Slow Cooker Indian Butter Chicken.

This recipe uses chicken breast meat but it would be completely amazing and delicious with chicken thighs. The reason I avoided chicken thighs in this dish was I didn’t want all the extra fat to render because the sauce would’ve been too greasy.
