      Thank you for this recipe. It turned out SO good! I had to make a few changes due to us being super broke right now, but this is a keeper! I used about 1.5lb of cut up chicken thighs (couldn’t afford more, but it still worked out) and I subbed a 1/2 tsp garlic powder because my fresh garlic had gone bad. Everything else was to the recipe and I’m really glad I waited until the last 30 min to add everything to the chicken… the sauce is so creamy and tasty. I served it over pasta because that’s what I had on hand. I was worried my husband wouldn’t like it (he doesn’t like “new” things), but he ate it all and said “this is DAMN good”…. so yay! Thank you!

      I don’t buy fresh lemons, I buy lemon juice. Do you think just 1 tsp or 1 tblsp of lemon juice?

        Hi LeighAnn,

        You can try using 2 tablespoons of lemon juice as a substitute for squeezing 1 lemon. Of course you can adjust the amount to your preferences.

        Have fun with this recipe and have a wonderful weekend!

        Hi Nora ~ the lemon slices can be added on top at the very end, just before serving as a pretty garnish.

          I also had on hand both soups without herbs (and only lemon juice). It came out too bland. Otherwise, delicious. I encourage you to add spices!

      Is it ok to cook everything together at once? Instead of waiting to add the rest of the ingredients after 3 hours?

        Hi Alina ~ you’ll end up with a much thicker, more delicious sauce if adding it at the end. Hope that helps!

        Hi Ami ~ yes… boneless thighs should work as well! You may just need to alter the time a bit, so just keep an eye on them as they’re cooking. 😉

      Step 1 – Do you simply put the chicken in the crock pot all by itself? I’m wondering if I need to lightly oil the bottom of the crockpot or add a little water so the chicken doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pot. This recipe sounds delicious!

      Reply
      • Heidi says

        April 17, 2016 at 9:59 am

        Hi Dana ~ that’s correct… no water or oil is needed, as the chicken will end up cooking in its own juices it releases. Hope that helps!
