Artichoke & Lemon Slow Cooker Chicken

 

Dishing up another family-friendly meal that is easy to prepare and also easy on the budget. Artichoke & Lemon Slow Cooker Chicken is a wonderful meal that not only smells delicious cooking and but takes just a few minutes to get started in the morning.  

Better yet, if you’d like to prep ahead of time and freeze like so many of our meals, this recipe is ideal. Anything to help busy dinnertimes out, right?

 

 

Artichokes and lemons are 2 flavors that blend so well together. They add just enough flavor to the chicken without being overpowering.  

Remove the lemon slices before serving, if you don’t think your family will enjoy eating the artichokes, remove them too. We’ve all had fussy eaters, we get it. But, you may be surprised though, they might gobble them right up.

 

 

Serve with some yummy pasta salad, mashed potatoes or a fresh salad and you’ll have a happy family. My family enjoys this dish served or rice or buttered egg noodles. 

 

 

What ingredients do you need to make Artichoke & Lemon Slow Cooker Chicken?

• Chicken Breasts
• Onion
• Artichoke Hearts
• Seasonings: Garlic Salt, Pepper, and Oregano
• Lemon

Some tips for making Artichoke & Lemon Slow Cooker Chicken:

• I used jarred, marinated artichoke hearts. Do not drain. 
• Chop the artichoke hearts prior to adding to the slow cooker. 
• If preparing as a freezer meal: Place all ingredients (except lemon slices) into a gallon-sized resealable freezer bag. Freeze. Place the bag into the refrigerator overnight prior to placing it into the slow cooker. Dump contents into the slow cooker, place lemon slices on top, cook on low 6 hours.
• In a hurry? You can cook on high for 4 hours. 
• This recipe easily doubles for a larger amount. 
• After cooking there is a small amount of liquid, this is not a very saucy dish.
