Lemon Basil Slow Cooker Chicken served on a blue plate with sliced carrotsI am still taking full advantage of my slow cooker during these hot months. The girls and I had a day-trip on the schedule today, so I plopped this in the crockpot and it was ready to go shortly after naptime.

Both girls were a huge fan of the chicken and carrots, so I will be making this again in the near future. You can serve the chicken breasts whole as shown, or shred and serve over rice, noodles or quinoa.

Hope you enjoy this slow cooker chicken!

  1. This looks delicious! I have a whole chicken that I am going to try this recipe with. I like the idea of serving it over rice, brown perhaps?

  4. In the crockpot now! Although it’s only been about 4 1/2 hours and it looks done! Turning it down for dinner in a bit! Smells delish!

    1. Oh good Sarah! So glad you are giving it a try! Yeah, every crockpot seems to run a little bit different, so I think it is always a good idea to be around when cooking a new crockpot recipe for the first time, in case it looks like it needs to be turned down early.

  5. Don’t have any parsley but I have everything else ready to be thrown into the crockpot before church tomorrow. Looks delicious
