How to Make Lemon Pepper Chicken in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
Mark your calendars people! There is sure to be a new holiday. I actually thawed my chicken ahead of time like a normal person! (Always make sure your meat is completely thawed before putting it in your slow cooker.)
I was looking for a recipe the other day (a day ahead…aren’t you impressed?!) and came across this Crock Pot Lemon Pepper Chicken from Gooseberry Patch’s Slow Cooking All Year ‘Round. It was simple and had one of my favorite seasonings…lemon pepper! I was sold in a heartbeat!
The original recipe called for a 3-4 lb whole chicken but said you could substitute with bone-in chicken breasts. Well, I had bone-in chicken thighs, so I figured we would give it a go! And not only did it come out great, we also got some great broth to freeze! Double score!

do you not add any liquid to this recipe…? just chicken & seasoning…? where’d the broth come from…? new crock pot cook. sorry if the question is “stupid”…
Hi Sam!
Not a stupid question…I’m happy to answer! No liquid needed. While cooking, the chicken produces cooking juices that create a yummy broth. Enjoy!
