Description
Bright, tangy, and utterly comforting, this slow cooker chicken piccata features tender chicken in a lemony butter-caper sauce. Perfect for serving over pasta, mashed potatoes, or rice.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup capers
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Pasta, mashed potatoes, or rice (for serving)
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in the crockpot in a single layer.
- Whisk together butter, lemon juice, capers, and minced garlic in a bowl. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Pour the sauce over the arranged chicken, ensuring all pieces are covered.
- Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 4–6 hours until chicken is tender.
- Lift the chicken onto plates and spoon extra sauce from the crockpot over each breast.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
Taste the sauce before adding more salt, as capers are salty. Chicken should reach 165°F (74°C) at the thickest part for safety.
