Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless chicken thighs

Aromatics and Liquids

  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tsp thyme

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Mince the garlic cloves finely to release their full flavor. Measure out the lemon juice, chicken broth, and thyme so everything is ready to go.
  2. Combine in Crockpot: Place the boneless chicken thighs in the crockpot. Add the minced garlic, lemon juice, chicken broth, and thyme on top of the chicken evenly.
  3. Cook: Set the crockpot to low heat and cook the chicken for 4 hours. This slow cooking method ensures the chicken becomes tender and absorbs the flavorful lemon garlic sauce.
  4. Serve: Once cooked, check that the chicken is tender and cooked through. Serve hot with your choice of sides such as rice or vegetables.

Notes

  • Using boneless chicken thighs keeps the meat tender and juicy during slow cooking.
  • For a thicker sauce, remove the chicken after cooking and reduce the liquid on the stove for a few minutes.
  • You can add vegetables such as carrots or potatoes to the crockpot for a complete meal.
  • Adjust the amount of lemon juice if you prefer a milder or stronger lemon flavor.
