Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 lemons (juice and zest)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Lightly pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Make the Marinade: In a bowl, combine lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, oregano, and olive oil. Mix well.
  3. Season the Chicken in the Slow Cooker: Place chicken in the slow cooker and pour the marinade over the top.
  4. Add Broth: Pour chicken broth around the chicken to keep everything moist.
  5. Set Your Slow Cooker: Cook on low for 5-6 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
