Garlic Lemon Chicken
This fabulous wonderful delicious - I can't figure out enough glowing adjectives - chicken is a new favorite!
Prep: 35 minutes
Stovetop: 15 minutes
Crockpot: 4-6 hours
Servings: 6
Ingredients
Directions
Peel outer skin off heads of garlic and break individual cloves apart.
Place a clove of garlic under the flat of your knife blade. Use the palm of your hand to smack the knife blade to break the skin of the garlic clove. You don't want to hit it very hard because for this recipe, you want your garlic cloves to be as whole as possible. (If you're mincing garlic for a recipe, you don't have to be quite so cautious.) Drop each peeled clove into the crockpot.
Stacking your four ribs of celery once they've been cleaned and trimmed makes slicing them super-easy.
Add celery to garlic in crockpot and stir a bit to combine.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet and brown chicken in oil in batches.
Transfer to slow cooker, arranging on top of garlic and celery.
In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients.
Pour over chicken. Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or until chicken is done and very tender.
Simple Savory Rice
Nice as a side dish with almost any meal.
Cook: 25 minutes
Servings: 6
Ingredients
Directions
Combine all ingredients in saucepan. Bring water to a boil. Stir rice once then lower heat to a very low simmer and cover. Set timer for 25 minutes and do not lift the lid until the timer goes off. Remove lid, fluff with a fork, and serve.
