How to Cook Slow Cooker Lemon Garlic Chicken

Mix together oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Rub the mixture all over the chicken breasts. Melt butter in a big nonstick pan. Put chicken breasts in the hot butter and cook until they are golden. Use a spoon with holes to move the chicken to a slow cooker.

Pour water, lemon juice, and bouillon granules into the same pan. Bring the mix to a boil on high heat, so the bits stuck to the pan come off. Pour the boiled lemon mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low heat for 4-5 hours. Add parsley and spoon liquid over the chicken.

Cover and cook on high for 15-30 minutes or until the chicken is soft.
