Slow Cooker Lemon Chicken

by

I use my slow cooker all year round. I love it in the summer because it doesn’t heat up my kitchen while cooking and I love it the rest of the year because it is such a time saver. My friend has 9 children with one on the way and she doesn’t have a slow cooker. I cannot even grasp that concept. How does she survive without one?!
Crazy, is what it is.
Make this Slow Cooker Lemon Chicken today. It only takes 3-4 hours so you can start it later in the afternoon and be ready for dinner. Sometimes I forget to start a meal in my slow cooker in the morning and then it’s too late because a lot of meals take longer to cook. Not this one. Winner, winner chicken dinner. I had to say it.
