Hi everyone! I hope you’re ready for this week’s Christmas series recipe! Parrish and I decided not to do your traditional turkey or ham for this main dish but something a little different! Parrish has done an amazing Christmas lasagna and I’ve made a roasted chicken. BUT, not just your average everyday chicken. Slow cooker roasted lemon pepper chicken it is! YUMMY.
Slow Cooker Roasted Lemon Pepper Chicken
You could obviously make this any night of the week but I think it is an especially good idea for a Holiday feast! All you have to do Christmas morning is pop this baby in the slow cooker, then enjoy opening presents, spending time with your family, getting all your sides ready and then BAM! Perfectly cooked super moist chicken with it’s own jus. This can’t get much simpler!
Slow Cooker Roasted Lemon Pepper Chicken
Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken 3-5 pounds

I am going to try this recipe and want to use breasts as well. I noticed you mentioned you were going to use them , too. How did they come out? What did you do differently? Would love to hear from you
