We here at SkinnyMs. love being to able to make full, wholesome meals in the slow cooker. Our Slow Cooker Lemon and Potato Chicken encapsulates our love for ease and convenience by providing a main course and side all at the same time! Just cook the chicken on the stovetop first to give you a nice crispy outside and a juicy center inside, then combine with the remaining ingredients in a slow cooker. The seasonings are simple, but the end result is a tender chicken with a light lemon and garlic flavor alongside perfectly cooked potatoes.
This lemon and potato chicken is an entire meal in and of itself, but you could also throw in some fresh or frozen green beans to bulk up the meal and add nutrients.
