Slow Cooker Lemon Garlic Chicken

This slow cooker lemon garlic chicken is tender, juicy, and full of flavor. It comes together quickly and cooks itself while you’re off doing what needs to be done for the day.

The lemon and garlic add bright color and flavor to the chicken.

Oh, and of course, the garlic will help keep away vampires, too. One can never be too careful.

Using a slow cooker is one of the easiest ways to have a meal ready to eat when you get home from a busy day. Aside of the ease in preparing slow cooker meals, if you use healthy ingredients like skinless chicken breasts, low sodium stocks and vegetables, the meals can be nutritious and delicious, too.
