4 Servings
Prep: 20 min. Cook: 4 hours

Ingredients

1 medium onion, chopped
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/2 to 1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon each garlic powder, chili powder and paprika

1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)

Hot cooked noodles
Chopped fresh parsley, optional

Directions

In a greased 3-qt. slow cooker, combine the onion, water, lemon juice, oil and seasonings. Add chicken; turn to coat. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 170°. Remove chicken and keep warm.
In a saucepan, combine the cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Gradually add the cooking juices. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve with chicken over noodles. Sprinkle with parsley if desired. Yield: 4 servings.

I thought this recipe was OK, but not great. My husband, who isn't at all picky, didn't care for it. I wonder if the original recipe (not crock pot) would be better.
