A very easy way to make chicken. I especially like it as I can make it at lunch and it fills the house with the smell of cooking chicken, garlic and lemon for the whole afternoon.
Ingredients
- 1 kilo of chicken. Breast and drumstick best
- 1 teaspoon oregano leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- Water, as needed
- 4 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice. Strain only the seeds, leaving some flesh in with the juice
- 4 cloves garlic, crushed
- 4 cloves of garlic, sliced
- 1 cup chicken stock
Directions
- Wash chicken and dry on paper towels.
- Combine oregano, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle on the chicken and pat it in.
- Fry the chicken with the butter until lightly browned.
- Transfer chicken and butter to the crockpot.
- Add the lemon juice, stock, garlic and a little water to the pan. Scrape the pan, collecting remainder chicken and butter. Bring mixture to a boil and pour over the chicken.
- Add enough water into the crockpot to cover the chicken
- Cover and cook on High for 2 1/2 - 3 hours or on Low for 5 - 6 hours.
