Slow Cooker Lemon Garlic Chicken

Slow Cooker Lemon Garlic Chicken If you have Mrs. Dash Lemon Pepper, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of that instead of the one black pepper. Just delete 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice and increase the water by a tablespoon. 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves 1 tablespoon canola oil 1/4 cup water 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 2 teaspoons minced garlic 1 teaspoon low-sodium chicken broth powder or bouillon granules 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley In a small bowl, mix oregano, salt, and black pepper together, then sprinkle the mixture evenly over the chicken pieces. Add canola oil to a large, nonstick skillet and start heating over medium heat. When hot, add chicken pieces and brown on both sides (about 3 minutes per side). Place chicken pieces in slow cooker. Add water, lemon juice, garlic, and chicken broth powder to the skillet, and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Pour the lemon juice over the chicken in the slow cooker and cover with lid. Cook on HIGH for 3 hours or LOW for about 6 hours. Sprinkle the parsley on top of the chicken about 15-30 minutes before the end of the cooking time. Serve with cooked pasta or steamed brown rice.
