Servings: 6
Cost: $19.66, $3.28 per Serving
Ingredients
- 6 chicken breasts boneless and skinless
- 8 tablespoons butter divided
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- 2 lemons juiced
- 2 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 cup half and half
- 2 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt 2 tablespoons butter.
- Add boneless, skinless chicken breasts and brown them on both sides, about 2–3 minutes per side.
- Season the chicken with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Sprinkle minced garlic over the chicken.
- Cut the remaining butter into pieces and place them over the chicken.
- Juice lemons and pour the lemon juice evenly over the chicken.
- Cover and cook on low for 5 hours.
- In a small bowl, whisk together half-and-half and cornstarch until smooth.
- Pour the cornstarch mixture into the slow cooker and stir gently into the cooking liquid.
- Cover and cook on high for 1 additional hour, or until the sauce has thickened.
- Turn the slow cooker off. Stir the shredded parmesan into the sauce a small handful at a time, letting each addition melt before adding the next. The residual heat is enough — parmesan added over direct heat will go stringy.
- Taste the sauce and add salt and a small squeeze of extra lemon if it needs it. Serve the chicken and sauce over angel hair pasta with extra fresh lemon wedges.
