Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour For dredging the chicken
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

Method
 

Preparation

Cooking
  1. Cover and set the crockpot to low for 6-8 hours, or high for 3-4 hours.
  2. Once cooked, stir in the butter until melted.
Serving

Notes

For a thicker sauce, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a bit of water before adding it to the crockpot during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to 3 months.
