Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. This means using fresh lemons, garlic, and herbs. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but it won't be as flavorful.
  • Don't overcrowd the slow cooker. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly. If you have a lot of chicken breasts, you may need to cook them in batches.
  • Cook the chicken on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The cooking time will depend on the size of your chicken breasts. You can check if the chicken is done by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the breast. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the chicken and rice with your favorite sides. Some good options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a salad.

Conclusion:

This slow cooker lemon garlic chicken and rice recipe is an easy and delicious weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the rice is perfectly cooked. Plus, it's a one-pot meal, which means less cleanup!
