Slow Cooker Lemon Garlic Chicken

Wow!  This is so good and easy to make.  Moist and tasty.  The chicken breasts are seasoned with fresh oregano then slow cooked with lemon juice, garlic, green onions and chicken broth.  Easy to fix this in the morning and then forget about it until right before it’s time to eat.  Great served with rice (try keeping it to 1/2 cup rice to save on carbs) with the sauce dribbled over everything.

My son and husband both loved this .. me too!  I especially loved how easy it was to make and slow cooking is always wonderful!
