Garlic, oregano and lemon juice give spark to this memorable main dish. It's easy to fix - just brown the chicken in a skillet, then let the slow cooker do the work. I like to serve this dish to company. -Walter Powell, Wilmington, Delaware

Ingredients

  • 6 bone-in chicken breast halves (about 3 pounds), skin removed
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt

Add water, lemon juice, garlic and bouillon to the skillet; bring to a boil, stirring to loosen browned bits. Pour over chicken.

Used 1.5 lbs of boneless skinless breasts and 1.5 times the amount of oregano, seasoned salt, and pepper. Kept everything else the same. It was delicious. We'll definitely be making it again!

This is a "stand by" recipe, for me.....winter, summer..doesn't matter..It's good hot, cold, or at room temperature....and the leftovers make great chicken salad.

Excellent, easy, and it doesn't take all day in the crock pot! I doubled the liquid and doubled the seasonings to have plenty of sauce to serve with rice.

Very tasty. I used boneless chicken breasts and I did skip the garlic since we are not real fond of it. This was so easy to prepare This recipe is a keeper

Delicious! Chicken practically falls off the bone it's so moist. I added a can of cream of chicken soup and fresh sliced mushrooms. The soup makes a nice gravy to put over the chicken & rice. This is a family favorite!
