Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 4 hours
Total Time: 4 hours 10 minutes
Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

• 6 tbsp unsalted Challenge Butter
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 cup half and half
• 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
• 3 garlic cloves, minced (or 1 1/2 tsp minced garlic)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1/8 tsp paprika
• 4 1/2 tbsp cornstarch

Instructions

• 1. Add the butter to a microwave safe bowl and heat until melted. Set aside.
• 2. Place the chicken breasts into a 6 quart slow cooker.
• 3. In a large bowl or measuring cup, combine the chicken broth, half and half and lemon juice, then add the garlic, salt, pepper, thyme, oregano and paprika. If it curdles a little bit, that’s fine.
• 4. Add the melted, cooled butter to the lemon mixture and stir to combine.
• 5. Pour the lemon butter mixture over the chicken, then cover the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 3 hours or LOW for 7 hours. Slow cookers can vary a little so adjust cooking time as needed.
• 6. Remove about 1 cup of the lemon butter mixture from the slow cooker and whisk in the corn starch. Add it back into the slow cooker and stir to combine.
• 7. Place the top back on the slow cooker and cook for another hour, then serve.
