Slow Cooker Herbed Lemon Chicken Recipe
Recipe Description:
This is the simplest dish ever. It almost shouldn't be listed as a recipe. It was so delicious, though, that it didn't seem right to keep such a dish to myself, so here it is. This is perfect for any season, really, but I love to save it for the summertime when the oven and I take a break from each other *sniff*. If you'd like to make it GAPS-legal, use your favorite squash instead of potatoes. This is the incredible five minute meal. That's all it takes to assemble, then you let it slow cook for about 7 hours. It fills the home with a fragrance that puts those chemically air fresheners to shame.
Recipe
Instructions:
Wash chicken. Stuff chicken with lemons, slightly squeezing them in the cavity to release the juice.
Place chicken in the crock pot and surround it with potatoes (or squash). Brush chicken with olive oil & drizzle just a little bit over potatoes.
Sprinkle seasoning over chicken and potatoes. Don't be afraid to use a lot. Sprinkle garlic halves around chicken.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours if your crock pot tends to be on the hotter side of things (like mine), or 8-10 if it's, well, slow like a slow cooker should be.
*TIP: Don't allow chicken to get super brown on top or it will take on that "crock pot taste." Just check that the thickest part of the meat isn't at all pink and it reaches 165ยบ. This is a wonderfully moist chicken dish, and the potatoes get nicely light brown and crispy along the edges.
