Slow Cooker Creamy Lemon Chicken With Butter, Garlic And Lemon Coating Tender Chicken Breasts In A Creamy Sauce. Even Great As A Pasta Topping.

Moderate Cooker Creamy Lemon Chicken bucks the overall general guideline I live by with moderate cooker chicken plans. I NEVER add chicken bosom to a sluggish cooker. My Slow Cooker Thai Peanut Chicken is one of the solitary exemptions on the site alongside Slow Cooker Indian Butter Chicken.this formula utilizes chicken bosom meat however it would be totally stunning and heavenly with chicken thighs. I dodged chicken thighs in this dish because I didn’t need all the additional fat to deliver in light of the fact that the sauce would’ve been excessively oily.

I likewise needed to take note of that despite the fact that you see the lemon wedges in the sluggish cooker before pic, you just utilize the zing and the juice in the formula. I simply adored how lovely it looked.
