Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, (about 6 oz. each)

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Coat a 6-quart slow cooker with nonstick spray.

Season the chicken with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides, then lightly dredge them in flour, shaking off excess.

Melt 1 tbsp of the butter in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Swirl to coat and once bubbly, add the chicken and cook for 3 minutes per side until golden brown.

Transfer chicken to the slow cooker. Sprinkle the Italian dressing seasoning mix evenly over each breast. Slowly pour over the lemon juice and chicken broth, then evenly place the remaining slices of butter on the top.

Place the lid on and cook on low for 4 hours (or until cooked through and an internal temperature reaches 165F. Don’t overcook or the chicken will be dry.)

Gently slice or shred the chicken and serve over cooked rice and your favorite roasted vegetable. Drizzle some of that lemon broth over the top of the chicken and enjoy.
