Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken fillets
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped

Instructions
 

  • Season the chicken fillets with salt, pepper, garlic powder, rosemary, and thyme.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken fillets for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  • Transfer the seared chicken to the slow cooker.
  • In the same skillet, add chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Pour this mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker.
  • Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
  • About 30 minutes before serving, add the butter to the slow cooker and let it melt into the sauce.
  • Once done, garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For a richer sauce, you can stir in a splash of heavy cream just before serving. This dish goes wonderfully with rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread.
