Ingredients

Instructions

  • Pat the chicken with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken on both sides until lightly golden, about 2 minutes on each side.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the lemonade concentrate, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic and the cornstarch slurry until even.
  • Place the chicken in the slow cooker and pour the lemonade sauce over the chicken evenly.
  • Cook the chicken for 4-5 hours on low setting or 2-3 hours on high, until the chicken is tender and reaches 165°F.
  • To finish off the sauce, stir it together and add the butter and lemon juice and stir to combine. The sauce should begin to thicken when it’s no longer heated.
  • Spoon the sauce over the chicken and serve right away. Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices if you would like.
