Description

Garlic, oregano and lemon juice give spark to this memorable main dish. Its easy to fix—just brown the chicken in a skillet, then let the slow cooker do the work. I like to serve this dish to company. —Walter Powell, Wilmington, Delaware

Delicious!

I added a can of cream of mushroom soup because I wanted a little gravy to serve with the chicken over rice but I think next time Ill follow the recipe as posted. The chicken had really good flavor.

Made it exactly to recipe but used thighs as we love dark meat. Was a hit.

We use the brown rice, which made it a lot tastier than with the white. Excellent recipe.

Cooked nicely, but it lacked flavor for us. I even added extra garlic and mushrooms.

I have made this recipe for many years. It is a definite favorite with the family. The only thing is I increase the sauce part so we have some to put over the rice or potatoes.

Good flavored chicken. We use it for boneless skinless breasts diced for salads and change the toppings. It goes well with roasted corn and beans and marinated tomatoes and zucchini. I dont keep seasoned salt in the house so instead I sprinkle chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, pepper and oregano on before browning. The hardest part is not eating it off the cutting board before packing it up. I also notice it cooked through after about three hours in the crockpot.

Ive made this many times since it was published in 2000! Definitely watch the cooking times with newer slow cookers- 3 1/2 to 4 hours is the magic number for mine.

Made this for dinner last night and it was outstanding. Absolutely use the spinach... I had a box of frozen spinach; just thawed it a bit in the microwave, and added it with its liquid to the slow cooker. I also added a can of cream of chicken soup, and used boneless skinless chicken thighs. Lemon makes the dish. I have a newer slow cooker, and it just took 4 hours on low; would have been fine at 3 hours, because the chicken is already slightly browned and mostly cooked when it goes in the cooker. Think the cream of chicken, or cream of mushroom soup will keep this from being dry. It was fall-apart good, and full of flavor. I served it over whole wheat spaghetti. Big fan of this recipe with these slight modifications.

I read the reviews prior to trying this and I too, used boneless thighs and added a can of cream of mushroom soup, without altering the lemon juice or any of the other ingredients. Delicious! My picky husband LOVED this! My new go to chicken recipe! It would be amazing with mushrooms!
