Lemon Crock Pot Chicken

I've been anxious to use the Crock Pot for meals, since that seems to be the "it" thing to do now. But even though it seems as easy as "Just throw all the ingredients in and cook for 4-8 hours," I find it difficult coming up with recipes that will work in the crock pot. Here's one that worked pretty well.

Lemon Crock Pot Chicken
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 2 lemons (You'll use juice of both and the peel of 1)
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tbsp Mrs. Dash Table Blend
  • 1/2 tbsp dried rosemary
  • 1/2 tbsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 med. onion, on a fairly fine dice
  • 3 cloves garlic, fine dice
  • 1 tsp salt

1. Preheat crockpot.

2. Put spices, salt and pepper on chicken and place in crock pot. Add onions, garlic, the juice of two lemons and the zest of one lemon.

3. Add 1/2 chicken stock and 1/2 water to coat chicken.

4. Heat on High for 3 hours. Check to make sure chicken is still covered by liquids. If not, add more liquid and continue on High for 2 hours or until chicken is fall apart tender.

5. Remove chicken and cover to keep warm. Add liquids from crock pot to sauce pan and reduce by half.

6. Serve chicken over rice with extra sauce.
