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
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley
Hot cooked rice

Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Combine the oregano, seasoned salt and pepper; rub over chicken. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the chicken in butter; transfer to a 5-qt. slow cooker. Add water, lemon juice, garlic and bouillon to the skillet; bring to a boil, stirring to loosen browned bits. Pour over chicken.
Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours. Baste the chicken. Add parsley. Cover and cook 15-30 minutes longer or until meat juices run clear. If desired, thicken cooking juices and serve over chicken and rice. Yield: 6 servings.

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

This recipe is excellent. I have made it several times and love how the chicken is so juicy and tender.

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!

I browned the garlic just a little before adding the liquids to the skillet - also used thighs - yumm

Very good crock pot recipe. However, I didn't thicken the gravy - I cooked the rice in chicken bouillon, poured the unthickened gravy over the rice, and tossed the rice. Then I put the chicken on it. Nice, easy dish.
