Course Main Course
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 4 hours
Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1/4 Cup All Purpose Flour
  • Kosher Salt & Black Pepper to taste
  • Butter Flavored Cooking Spray
  • 2 Tbl Land O Lakes Light Butter
  • 1 Cup Fat Free Chicken Broth
  • 2 Lbs Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 1/2 Cup White Cooking Wine
  • 1/2 Cup Capers, Drained & Rinsed
  • 1/2 Cup Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 2 Tbl Each: Cold Water & Cornstarch
  • Lemon Slices, SLiced
  • Fresh Parsley or Basil

Instructions

  • Prepare the chicken: Flatten boneless, skinless chicken breasts so they are even in thickness for consistent cooking. Dredge: In a shallow bowl, mix flour with kosher salt and black pepper. Coat each chicken breast in the flour mixture and set aside.
  • Sear for flavor: Spray a sauté pan with butter-flavored cooking spray. Add the light butter and heat over medium-high. Once melted, lightly brown the chicken breasts in batches — this adds flavor without extra fat.
  • Slow cook it: Transfer the browned chicken to your slow cooker. Pour in chicken broth, white cooking wine, lemon juice, and capers. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours.
  • Make the sauce: Once done, use a slotted spoon to remove the chicken and keep it warm. Transfer the liquid from the slow cooker to a saucepan. Whisk together the cold water and cornstarch until smooth, then stir into the sauce. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 10 minutes until thickened.
  • Serve and garnish: Pour the sauce over the chicken and garnish with lemon slices and fresh parsley or basil, if desired.
  • This makes 4-6 servings. Enjoy!
