  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • Optional: ¼ cup chicken broth

  2. In a bowl, whisk lemon juice, zest, olive oil, garlic, seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  3. Pour mixture over chicken and flip to coat.
  4. Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours.

  • Don’t overcook—check at the minimum time
  • Chicken thighs work great if you prefer juicier meat
  • Add cream at the end for a richer sauce
  • Leftovers keep well for 3–4 days refrigerated
