Slow Cooker Lemon Pepper Chicken (Video version)

It’s February 2025, it’s the New Year and every man and his dog seem to be on a healthy eating regime. We saw so much happen in 2024 that it’s not surprising the world and his wife want to feel better in 2025. The slow cooker is a great way to get healthy low fat meals without to much fuss. Chicken is a great meal to cook in the slow cooker pot. Plus adding lemon not only fills the dish with lots of Vitamin C but also gives it a lot of flavour. However the dish is slightly sour so watch out. Below is a video and recipe for you.

Slow Cooker Lemon Pepper Chicken was a tasty meal. It was easy to prepare and cook. The meal however was slightly sour. I did suggest adding honey to the pot but my husband Howard thought this sounded more like cough mixture than a meal! The meal also made delicious leftovers the next day too. Plus it could be made in advance and frozen in a dump bag before cooking it. However you decide to eat this dish, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
