This recipe took the number one spot of my favorite slow cooker meals. It seriously blew my mind how amazing the flavor was. Not only was it the perfect blend of spices and lemon, but I have never had more tender, melt in your mouth chicken. It filled my house with the most wonderful lemon aroma. I already want to make this again. It’s just that good!

Slow Cooker Lemon Pepper Chicken
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, about 3-4 pounds
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 1 package dry Italian dressing/seasoning mix
- ½ cup fresh lemon juice
- ½ cup chicken broth
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare your chicken by rinsing it, trimming the fat, and cutting them in half making them more like cutlets.
- In a shallow dish, combine the flour and pepper. Coat the chicken in the flour.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, brown each side of the chicken in the butter, don't cook the chicken fully.
- Spray a crockpot with cooking spray and place the chicken on the bottom. Sprinkle the Italian seasoning package over the chicken.
- Mix the lemon juice and chicken broth, and pour over the chicken and seasonings.
- Cook on LOW for 3-4 hours. Enjoy!

Can u freeze this?
I don’t recommend using this for freezer meal prep unless it has been cooked, since the chicken has to be dredged in flour and browned before adding to the crockpot. The cooked dish can be frozen in an airtight container or a freezer bag for up to 3 months.
I’ve tried this in the slow cooker and it was amazing. If I wanted to cook this in a cast iron pan or in the oven (cooking temp/time), how would I do that?
Thank you!
Hi there! Prepare and sear your chicken as usual, and then bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 25 minutes.
Thank you for a recipe for a really great, easy meal! I make a batch of Italian seasoning spices found online and keep the mix on hand. This couldn’t be tastier. A family favorite!
Hi Alyssa!
I am Joyce and I thank you for this very simple yet so deliciously good chicken recipe, all the way from Asia! I am from the Philippines. Again, thanks a bunch! God bless your kitchen! =)
I made this today for my boyfriend and it was absolutely splendid! Tasted like a gourmet dish, with such simplicity! We had all of the ingredients on hand, and it was perfect
Did you have your slow cooker on low or high?
Just made this tonight and everyone loved it! Always looking for a dinner recipe that will please the whole family. I served it over egg noodles. The kids asked for seconds!
this was very yummy. I think next time I will put ranch instead of Italian. Also it should cook for about 5 hours. Thanks for a great recipe.
Alyssa, I made this yesterday with bone-in chix thighs (skin/fat removed) I browned the chix and deglazed the pan with the chix broth and lemon and poured it all on top and added fresh ground black pepper. It was absolutely delicious!!! I will be making this on a regular basis. Thank you very much for this recipe 🙂
what is a good side dish?
I like serving wild rice and veggies. 🙂
Made this last night for dinner. Everyone loved it. Tasted great and so tender! Will be making this again!
I made this today and it was delicious! I love anything lemon and this hit the spot.
LOVE this recipe! I didn’t have dry italian dressing, so I just found a recipe online so I made my own mix. Very tasty meal. Thanks!!
