Slow Cooker Lemon Garlic Chicken
Let me tell you about this mouthwatering dish! The zesty lemon and savory garlic come together to create a chicken recipe that’s finger-licking good. You pop everything into the slow cooker, and let it work its magic while you kick back and relax.

Ingredients
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 lemons (juice and zest of both)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups of mixed vegetables (carrots, bell peppers, onions)
- 1 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Start by seasoning those chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Get ready for that flavor to infuse!
- In a skillet, heat up the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken thighs skin-side down and brown them for about 5 minutes. This step will give your chicken that beautiful color!
- While the chicken is sizzling, mix together the minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, thyme, and oregano in a bowl. This mixture is going to add all the flavor you need.
- Once your chicken is browned, transfer it to the slow cooker. Pour the lemon garlic mixture right over the top, ensuring every piece gets coated in that goodness.
- Now, add in those colorful veggies and pour the chicken broth over everything. Give it a gentle stir to mix things up a bit.
- Cover the slow cooker and let it cook on low for about 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. It’s that simple! The longer it cooks, the more tender and juicy the chicken will be.
- When it’s done, serve it up with some rice or crusty bread to soak up that delicious sauce. Trust me, you and your loved ones are going to savor every bite!
