Ingredients
- 2 lb. chicken breast boneless, skinless
- 1 tbsp lemon pepper
- 1/3 cup lemon juice (approx 2-3 lemons)
- 8 oz cream cheese full fat
- 3 garlic minced, cloves
- 5 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Place chicken in slow cooker and sprinkle lemon pepper over it. My lemon pepper has salt in it. If yours doesn't, add your desired amount of salt.
- Add the garlic and fresh lemon juice to the chicken. Top the chicken with butter and cream cheese and cook it on low for 4 hours.
- Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and set it aside. Use a silicone whisk (so you don't scratch the ceramic) to break up the cream cheese and incorporate it with the liquids in the slow cooker until it's nice and smooth.
- Shred or chop your chicken to your desired texture and add it back to the slow cooker with the sauce. Excellent served with orzo, rice, pasta, and roasted vegetables. Optional garnishes: parmesan cheese, crushed red pepper flakes, minced parsley. Enjoy!
