Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by mincing fresh garlic and squeezing the juice from your lemons.
  2. Heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat in a skillet.
  3. Season the boneless chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then sear until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  4. Layer the beautifully seared chicken in the crockpot. Sprinkle the minced garlic and capers on top.
  5. Pour the low-sodium chicken broth and freshly squeezed lemon juice over everything.
  6. Generously sprinkle Italian seasoning over the top. Cover the crockpot and set to low for 6 hours or high for 3 hours.
  7. Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken. Whisk in butter with remaining juices until smooth.
  8. Place chicken over cooked pasta or rice. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
