Savory Chicken in a Crock Pot image

I use the largest chicken breasts for this that I can find, so that they fill up the crock pot. Don't overcook, or you will have shredded chicken instead of chicken breasts.

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 large boneless chicken breast halves
2 Tbsp fresh oregano, chopped
1/4 tsp black pepper, fresh ground
3 Tbsp butter
1 c chicken stock
1/4 c white wine
3 Tbsp lemon juice
2 clove garlic, minced
1 Tbsp minced fresh parsley

Steps:

  • 1. Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Combine oregano and pepper and rub over chicken. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the chicken breasts on each side in the butter. Transfer chicken to slow cooker.
