Crockpot Lemon Chicken

Sharing is caring!

A while back one of my wonderful Facebook readers, Erin Burns, shared a delicious crockpot recipe with me. I’ve made it about 5-7 times now and it is super yummy.   I’ve also shared the recipe with family and friends and they have enjoyed it as well. I love that it partners well with pasta and my kids gobble it up. It goes well with fresh fruits and veggies, too.

Hi Erin!

This is more of a fancy crockpot meal, as it has more steps in it than my recent super-simple-plop-and-go recipes.You’re gonna love it. You can find more Chicken Recipes like this here too!

Ingredients

  •  2 onions, cut in eighths
  •  3 cloves garlic, peeled
  •  8 pieces of chicken, skinned
  •  salt and pepper
  •  1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  •  1/2 cup lemon juice (about 4 lemons)
  •  1/2 cup chicken bouillon
  •  4 sprigs of tarragon (or 1 teaspoon dried tarragon)
  •  1/3 cup heavy cream

Add the sliced onions to the bottom of the crockpot.

Add the garlic on top of the onions.

Add your chicken pieces (I used breasts and threw them in frozen).

Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Cover the chicken in Dijon mustard.

Add the chicken bouillon. I used chicken broth.

Squeeze the lemon juice over

Sprinkle with tarragon or add fresh tarragon leaves.

Cover and let it cook on high for 4-6 hours or low for 8-10 hours.

Once it is done cooking, remove the chicken and the tarragon if you used fresh springs.

Add the heavy cream to the crockpot and mix well.

Return the chicken to the crockpot and leave it on warm until you are ready to serve.

We like to serve the chicken  over fettuccine noodles with sauce over top.

Super yummy- you’re gonna love it.

  1. I am looking forward to trying this recipe. I have one very long teaching day and I like to load up my crockpot in the morning so supper is ready when we all get home. I think my family will enjoy this. Thank you and I am enjoying your blog!

    1. Tam, I am like you. On a busy day to walk in the house and dinner is done is like magic. 🙂

      I hope you and your family enjoy it.

  2. Who doesn’t need another crock pot recipe? Thanks for the great new recipe to add to my crockpot rotation! 🙂

  3. This looks soo delicious. I can’t wait to try it! Love your blog, just came across it. I am going to have to visit it regularly!!

  4. You’re right, Crystal, I love it! Great recipe! I’m thinkin’ this could easily be increased to serve our Wednesday crowd at church. Thanks for sharing!

  5. Made this last night! Family absolutely lved it. Thank you for sharing.

    1. That makes me so happy. Glad your family loved it. 🙂

  6. Just made this! Amazing! Haven’t even had dinner yet… can’t stop tasting it!

  7. Is there an overwhelming taste of mustard in this recipe?

    I don’t love mustard, unfortunately, but this otherwise looks and sounds good!

    1. Tammy- I do not think there is an overwhelming mustard taste, but I like mustard. And it is a great meat tenderizer. 🙂

      You could always cut back on the mustard a bit if you want.

  8. This looks really, really good. I just found it on pinterest and can’t wait to try it. One question though: It says in the ingredients that you use peeled garlic. But the picture does NOT look like three cloves of peeled garlic. It actually looks like minced garlic from a jar. Am I missing something? Thanks!

    1. Yap, I use jarred. I believe the jar says 1 T of minced garlic is the equivalent of 1 clove. That said, we love garlic so I added more. You really can’t go wrong with the amount of garlic. It is all about what you prefer. Feel free to improvise or to follow the directions. You can’t mess up the garlic.

      1. Thank you for replying! I definitely hear you on the garlic. I usually add extra as well. Thank you for clearing that up for me! Somehow the minced makes more sense to me than the peeled. 🙂

  9. for those trying to watch our calories, can you sub milk for cream?

    1. I think it would work fine. If you give it a try let me know how it works.

      Or, just skip that all together. It is fine in an uncreamy state too.

      1. It was delicious – albeit not as creamy 😉 probably just as good without the dairy but glad I tried. The whole family gobbled it up!
