Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup frozen lemonade concentrate thawed
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch + 2 tablespoons water for a slurry
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- Fresh parsley and lemon slices for garnish
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.
