Slow Cooker Lemon Chicken Piccata

Slow Cooker Lemon Chicken Piccata is creamy lemony sauce-coated noodles with juicy lightly breaded chicken with a hint of garlic, all topped with savory capers!

Hey guys it’s Tiffany from Creme de la Crumb!! Are you enjoying spring? It’s been pretty wet and dreary around here. We got a couple weeks at the beginning of March with gorgeous sunny 70 degree weather and then it evaporated into April showers. I’ll take it over the snow any day though! And rain or shine, a good crockpot dinner is always a good idea.

This slow cooker lemon chicken piccata is one of my family’s favorites! Creamy lemony sauce-coated noodles (linguine or spaghetti – take our pick!) with juicy lightly breaded chicken with a hint of garlic, all topped with savory capers! This dish is so easy to make, and even the noodles are cooked in the crockpot! Your family will fall in love with this delicious dinner!
