Three-Inch Hourglass Variations

 

I love volunteering at the hospital, but it really wipes me out. When I get home, the last thing I want to do is stand in the kitchen for an hour or more, fixing dinner. Thank heaven for dump-in-the-crock-pot recipes! We get a terrific meal, and I’m not to tired to eat!

 

Slow Cooker Lemon Chicken

 

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried parsley

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons butter

15 ounces chicken broth

6 tablespoons lemon juice

4 cloves garlic, minced

Zest of 1 lemon

3 tablespoons diced onion

8 ounces cream cheese

 

Combine all ingredients in slow cooker. Cover and cook on low 5 to 6 hours. About half an hour before serving, remove chicken, shred it and return it to the cooker. Serve over baked or roasted potatoes, rice, quinoa or pasta.
