Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Seasonings

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning

Sauce and Flavorings

  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
  • 1/4 cup caper berries
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter (for sauce)

Garnish and Serving

  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Cooked pasta or rice (optional for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Mince the garlic finely and squeeze fresh lemon juice from about two lemons. Set aside.
  2. Sear Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Once the oil is hot, sear chicken for about 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown but not cooked through.
  3. Assemble in Crockpot: Place the seared chicken breasts in the crockpot in a single layer. Evenly sprinkle minced garlic and caper berries over the chicken. Pour in low-sodium chicken broth and freshly squeezed lemon juice to infuse flavors.
  4. Add Seasoning and Cook: Sprinkle Italian seasoning over the top. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  5. Make Sauce: Carefully remove the chicken breasts and keep warm. Whisk butter into the juices remaining in the crockpot to create a rich, silky sauce.
  6. Serve: Serve the chicken breasts topped with the buttery lemon-caper sauce. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Optionally, serve over cooked pasta or rice for a complete meal.

Notes

  • For best results, sear the chicken to lock in flavor before slow cooking.
  • If caper berries are unavailable, substitute with capers but reduce quantity slightly for saltiness.
  • Adjust cooking time based on your crockpot brand and desired chicken tenderness.
  • This recipe is easily doubled or halved depending on your needs.
  • Serve with crusty bread or steamed vegetables for a well-rounded meal.
