This Slow Cooker Lemon Poppy Seed Chicken is full of lemon flavor and tastes great over rice. Make it soon!
When I was pregnant with my last baby (2013) my oldest daughter who was 11 at the time, made this Lemon Poppy Seed Chicken. Not the one shown in these photos, but the same recipe. She was at my sister-in law’s house getting a hair cut and stayed to make dinner for them. My sister-in-law did not use her as slave labor, fyi. My kids just love to help out at other people’s houses. If only I could get them to be as helpful at our house… anyway. Hannah came home with some of this chicken dish for dinner for me. Lance was in Wyoming working and big ol’ pregnant me really appreciated the meal.
The lemon flavor is so good. I love lemon anything. It’s made in the slow cooker which is always a bonus. It is a great recipe for any time of the year. Winter or summer, it doesn’t matter. It’s comforting and light and so good. Make it and share some with a neighbor who could use some TLC.

How fabulous that your daughter, at 11, can rock out a slow cooker dinner! I didn’t even make an omelet until I was almost 13.

When do the poppy seeds go in? Shown in list of ingredients, but not in directions. Never cooked with Poppy seeds before and don’t want to put them in too soon when they should go in last step or something

I’m sorry! I will fix that but I just added them in with the lemon juice and everything else.
