Tender Lemon Garlic Butter Chicken, Crockpot and THM S Recipe

Chicken is a weeknight staple. But it can get boring. This recipe creates incredibly flavorful, melt-in-your mouth chicken with minimal effort. This recipe is so easy but the results are anything but boring. You get juicy, tangy, and delicious meal the whole family will love.

This crockpot recipe is so easy!!

It’s perfect for busy nights. With minimal effort you end up with tender chicken in a luscious lemon garlic butter sauce. It’s another dump and go recipe. These kind of recipes are on repeat in my house.

What to serve it with

I made my mashed veggies.  If you make those, make sure you really push the liquid out. If not, they will be too runny. Cauliflower rice with some of the cooking liquid from the crockpot, garlic and onions would be good. Asparagus, salad, Brussels sprouts, green beans would all be great options.
