I was inspired to put together this Slow Cooker Lemon dish after seeing Nigella Lawson’s Slow-Roasted Garlic and Lemon Chicken (not a slow cooker recipe).

I just thought the flavours of chicken and lemon cooked slowly would be beautiful – and they were!

Slow Cooker Lemon Chicken

Ingredients:

• 4 tablespoons flour
• 1 kg chicken breasts (approx 4 breasts)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 bunch spring onions
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 lemon
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 1 tablespoon corn flour
• 4 tablespoons water

Method:

1. Finely slice spring onions and place in slow cooker.

2. Crush garlic directly into slow cooker.

3. Cut lemon in half and slice about 4 thin slices of lemon, then squeeze the juice from it. You will need at least a quarter cup of lemon juice.

4. Slice the chicken breasts in half width ways and then cut into strips about 1.5cm wide.

5. Add flour to a bag and then add chicken and toss chicken in flour.

6. Heat oil in a frying pan on a medium heat and add chicken and brown chicken.

7. Once browned add the chicken to the slow cooker.

8. In the frying pan you cooked the chicken add the lemon juice, sugar and stock.

9. Cook on a medium heat for a couple of minutes to gather all the flavours, then pour over the chicken.

10. Add the lemon slices to the slow cooker.

11. Pop on the lid and then cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.

12. 30 minutes before serving, mix together the corn flour and water, mix until smooth, then add to the dish to thicken the sauce.

13. Cook on high for a further 30 minutes until thickened.

We served this with brown rice which went super well with it, but you could serve it with veggies or even a salad.
