This Slow Cooker Lemon Chicken recipe is great for those days you know you need an easy dinner. Take a few minutes for preparation at lunch and within a few hours, you will have a delightful smell drifting throughout the house and a meal almost ready. Cook up a big pot of fresh greens, add some brown rice and you have a simple meal that will satisfy the whole family.
To make life easier, I love to use a programmable rice cooker so that the rice will be cooked just in time for dinner as well. Then all that is left to do is throw together a salad or add some steamed greens. Enjoy and be sure to tell me what your family thought of this meal.
