Slow Cooker Creamy Lemon Herb Chicken
This turned out really well. I served it over some rice infused with Kefir Lime leaves for some additional citrus taste. The citrus gave a nice balance to the savory chicken and cream sauce.
Ingredients:
3 chicken breasts, thawed
4 tablespoons salted butter
salt and pepper to taste
1 1/2 - 2 cups chicken stock
2 shallots, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
3 thyme sprigs
1 rosemary sprig
1 cup water
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
finely grated lemon zest from 1 lemon
juice from 1/2 lemon
Directions:
1. Salt and pepper chicken breasts to taste.
2. In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium high heat and add chicken. Fry chicken until it just turns golden brown. Remove chicken and place in slow cooker.
3. Pour chicken stock in skillet to deglaze, scrapping up any chicken bits. Pour contents of skillet over the chicken in the slow cooker.
4. Add the shallots, garlic, and thyme and rosemary sprigs. Cover and cook over low heat for 6 hours (or high heat for 4 hours). Cover slow cooker with a towel to really seal in the flavor.
5. At the 6 hour point, add your other ingredients. Mix the flour with the water in a glass, stirring until flour is dissolved. Pour into slow cooker. Add cream, lemon zest, and lemon juice and stir. Cover slow cooker and cook an additional 30 minutes.
Serve over rice or potatoes.

Sincere thanks for this new (to me) recipe, Steve! I love chicken plus the zingy citrus flavor of lemon. You make me so hungry when you take a bite and say how amazing it smells and tastes! God bless your day.
Looks very yummy Sir. Take care and God's Blessings.
Looks delicious! You need to make this for your lovely ladies when they get home ❤
Lordy Lordy ,off my rocker today, it's youngest grandson!!!!

Hey, Steve! I just had a thought, if you'd take the juice from 1-2 lemons, pierce the chicken, then place in a good zip lock bag for one hour before cooking ..... Well, you'll be amazed! 😋 Wishing you and your family God's ✝️ blessings. Have a beautiful Sunday. ❤

I love using lemon juice to help tenderize meat like that. Turns out that slow cooking it in the crockpot did the trick as well. It was super tender and fell apart.
Hi Col. Stephen! This looks amazing! I dump my chopped onions in to cook with the rice! Gives the rice a sweet flavour. This would be good over biscuits too! Prayers for safe travels for all! Maybe surprize the RMR with a rosemary plant and a thyme, too. If you have the ⏰ - OOO! God bless you all! 😊🙏✝️🐕🦺JJ & Service Dog Ruthie (who's B-day is tomorrow!🎂🥳🐕🦺)

Sir Colonel, gotta say that looks delish. I poke holes in chicken breasts with an ice pick when I cook them. I happen to make something similar with an orange zest with lite lemon mixed in and asparagus. mmmmmmm tis good. Fly straight as my mother would say when I went on a trip. Lol. Happy Fathers Day, Sir Steve. Enjoy!

Did the rice have a lemon flavor. You said it was good, but not whether it infused the lemon taste you wanted. Looked really good. It made me really hungry and I’ve got at least two hours before supper. Good thing it’s not smellavision or I’d be in serious trouble.

Lemon is always great with chicken recipes. My husband makes an amazing Chicken Piccata, which I coax him to add extra lemon zest to. I will be showing your video to him, so he will make this for our dinner as well 😊
Good night nurse, Steve! Now RMR and Bella are in Dallas and you didn’t contact me. My son makes a mean smoked brisket. I know, I know, next time. LOL Great, delicious looking chicken meal. God bless you and your family. 🙏🏻💖🙏🏻

If it has lemon in it, I'm there for it! I was wanting something different for dinner tomorrow, and this will work great. I think I will use egg noodles in place of rice. Have you ever tried the Goya bullion? It's in the Mexican section of my grocery store. It is a powder, and you get 8 packs in a box. It has so much better flavor than any I have tried, and it tastes so much fresher. It's quite a bit cheaper too. Better than Bullion is good, but after trying Goya I made the switch. Hope your training goes well and I hope the RMR and Bella are having a wonderful time with family. Thanks for sharing this with us. Hope you are having a great weekend and God bless.

Thank you, Teresa! I did learn from her and watching her videos--that was originally the reason she started doing them, because she got tired of coaching me over the phone. Trial and error as well. Mom was never afraid to try something new and she must have passed that along to me as well. It's also pretty hard to mess anything up in a crockpot! LOL!
You have come a long way. Enjoy you videos and storys. I will try you chicken fish but will use thighs. I find the breast to dry. TY

A definite winner Colonel. Just wondering if the rice was infused with the flavor from the leaves. Blessings to you and family. 👍

Oh, my Dear Lord, Jesus, I HAVE to make this lemon chicken!! 😁 I can imagine how delicious it is. Questions about your rice: Do you guys rinse yours before cooking it? I used to, but then I just didn’t care anymore. What’s your most successful way of ensuring you have the right amount of water? I always use the lines inside the rice cooker bowl. Thanks so much, Colonel!! Have a blessed day.

We used to as well, Esther. Doesn't really matter. I just use my finger--just looking for the water to reach my 1st knuckle with my finger tip on top of the rice in the pot. I choose to err on the "too much water is better" side--the extra water will steam out if you leave it sitting in the rice cooker a little longer. No fixing dry rice! LOL!

Hi steve. it has been a while since i commented and this is off the subject. I have a utube family i have followed for years . Knorpp and south. He is 40 something and has suddenly decided to become an airline pilot. No flight experience , just received his solo certificate. Is this a good field to get into ? Their latest vlog tells all about their new decision.
