Slow-Cooked Lemon Garlic Chicken Delight

Ingredients

- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 large lemon, juiced and zested

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

2. Prep the Crock Pot: Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil into the base of the crock pot.

3. Create the Garlic Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, remaining olive oil, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir well to create a fragrant mixture.

4. Layer the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the crock pot, ensuring they are spread out evenly. Pour the garlic-lemon mixture over the chicken, coating each piece thoroughly.

5. Slow-Cook: Cover the crock pot and set it to low heat. Allow the chicken to cook for PT6H
6 hours. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F for safe consumption.

6. Final Touch: Once cooking is complete, carefully remove the chicken breasts from the crock pot, ensuring they remain intact. Pour any remaining lemon garlic sauce over the chicken for added flavor.

7. Serve: Arrange the chicken on a serving platter, garnishing with fresh lemon slices and a sprinkle of chopped parsley if desired.
