Slow Cooker Lemon Pepper Chicken Recipe

Slow Cooker Lemon Pepper Chicken cooks slowly in your crock pot. Minimal effort, maximum taste!

As the holidays start to wind down and the new year begins, I try to take a little break from baking. I still cook daily, but that means that I use my slow cooker much more than I do the rest of the year.

It’s just necessary, considering the month of December is non-stop recipes multiple times a day. This particular year, I am working very hard to eat healthier, and that means cutting back on some of the extras like butter or red meat in particular for me.

I decided to start out the healthy eating journey by making this slow cooker lemon pepper chicken. I absolutely love making chicken in the slow cooker.

It’s so simple, and can be made a variety of ways. One of our favorites is simply pouring barbecue sauce over the chicken.

We end up using the BBQ Chicken in a variety of meals, such as salads, pulled chicken sandwiches, and over baked potatoes.

In this case, I decided to make a lightly seasoned chicken, then serve it with a side salad. I also saved a little bit of the leftovers to serve over salads and stuffed in potatoes throughout the week too.

That is one reason I love whole fryer chickens, because I easily can save the meat for the rest of the week.

This particular meal is a great meal to make on a budget too, with what you have on hand. It’s easily under $5.00 to make when you get a great deal on a fryer chicken.

I know at our local store they always seem to go on sale, even the organic chickens are typically a good deal. I stock up so that I can make oven fried chicken too.

This recipe consists of simply lemon, pepper, rosemary, and chicken. That’s right… four ingredients! Are you ready for dinner tonight? It’ll be easy, I promise!
