Crockpot Lemon Garlic Chicken & Potatoes

This recipe was incredibly easy - it reminded me of back in Kansas, when I would throw a pot roast and potatoes in the crock pot to cook all day long, and make the most easy, delicious meal. It would make the house smell awesome all day long with minimal effort. (I need to stop thinking about pot roasts...chicken, Tracy, chicken, chicken...)

To be perfectly honest, I didn't actually love this dish. But I think that's just because I'm not a huge lemon fan. So I decided to post it anyway, because if you like lemon, then you'll probably really like it! I hardly changed the original recipe, except I added some sliced onions to the crock pot, and I also increased the amount of chicken broth slightly. It seems to me that crock pots here cook hotter than in America, probably because of the super charged electricity, so I think liquids cook off and evaporate more quickly.

Crockpot Lemon Garlic Chicken & Potatoes

Original Recipe

3-4 chicken breasts

4 potatoes, cut into large chunks

1 onion, sliced

5 cloves of garlic, minced

4 TBS lemon juice

1-2 tsps oregano

Salt

Pepper

1 cup of water

1 chicken cube 

(or 1 cup of chicken broth, instead of the water and chicken cube)

Place the potato chunks and onion in the crock pot. Rub the garlic, oregano, salt and pepper onto both sides of the chicken breasts. Place chicken in crock pot. Pour the cup of water into crock pot, and throw the chicken cube directly in (it will dissolve as the water simmers). Pour the lemon juice into the broth. Cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours. Spoon extra broth over the chicken and potatoes when serving.
