"OK, this is not a chicken you just dump into a crock pot with seasoning and expect to have a gourmet meal after 8 hours - this crock pot chicken is a labor of love and requires just a little bit of time. Believe me, you will be glad you took it."

  2. I made this using boneless chicken breasts and cooked it for 4 1/2 hours. The chicken was so moist and very tasty. I will definitely make this again. Thanks for a great recipe.

  3. Very tasty sauce! We followed the recipe to a T and it was delicious. The quick sear on the stove gave the chicken that beautiful roasted look. Served with couscous and a salad. Thanks for sharing.

  4. Wow! This is probably one of the best crock pot chicken recipes I have ever made! I used chicken breasts, and the juice of only one lemon (it was about 2 Tbsp of juice), and it turned out really well! I also only cooked a total of 6 hours and that was plenty. Thank you so much, I will make this again.

  5. The smell of this cooking drove me nuts! I wanted to eat it for lunch but had to force myself to wait for dinner and DH. I do think I overcooked the chicken and parts were very dry....we used pieces and not a whole chicken and this could have contributed. Next time I will still use pieces but cook for a total of only 6 hours. I used sherry and it burned a little so next time I will probably use the broth. Really loved the flavor and am going to make for a family who is having a baby next week. Thanks!

  1. This chicken was very tasty and moist. I used four large bone in breast halves and cut each into three pieces. Since I did not use a whole bird and the pieces were small; I only cooked them for 5 1/2 hours before adding the lemon juice. I used white wine instead of sherry, doubled the amount of garlic (we love it), and added about 1/3 cup of chicken stock that I had on hand. I served this with couscous, steamed broccoli and a fresh fruit plate. Thank you evelyn/athens, this made a lovely dinner. Update 3/23/07 The first time I made this I use an OLD 1970's "Harvest Gold" crock pot. DH bought me a new stainless slow cooker and this was the first recipe I made in it. I used 3 large bone in chicken breasts and this time I did not cut them up. I cooked them on low for 5 1/2 hours before adding the lemon juice, and they turned out dry. My new slow cooker cooks a lot quicker/hotter then my tired 30 year old one. I will probably use the whole chicken from now on. This recipe is so delicious, I'm salivating.

  2. This is a great chicken dish! The extra steps at the beginning made all the difference. I used split chicken breast and vegetable stock instead of chicken broth, since that is what I had, and it turned out perfect. I used the leftovers for chicken salad! Thanks!

  3. This was really, really good! I used boneless, skinless breasts instead of a whole fryer, and thought I had rosemary, but when I went to make this, realized I didn't. So, I substituted italian seasoning for the oregano and rosemeary and used lots of garlic! Since I was using breasts, I probably should have gone with a shorter cooking time--they were literally falling to pieces when I took them out. But wow, were they ever good! Thanks!

  4. Absolutely delicious. And beautiful. For my first night having guests to dinner at my apartment, this was a lovely centerpiece to the meal. It looked beautiful, smelled heavenly and it was delicious. I used chicken breasts instead of a whole chicken and it was great. I arranged the pieces on a plate with a few slices of lemon and poured just a small portion of the sauce over the breasts. Yum. And, while it required a little more effort than the typical dump it in and go crockpot recipe, it really wasn't difficult at all and well worth the few extra minutes.

I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.What did I do wrong?Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time. That's all for now.
