Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • 2 lemons juices
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 3 sprigs of rosemary
  • cornstarch slurry 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water

Instructions
 

  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add butter and allow to melt.
  2. Pat chicken breast dry and season both sides with sea salt and cracked pepper. Add chicken to pan and sear to a light golden brown color on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side (approximately).
  3. Remove chicken and place into a slow cooker. To the pan, add lemon juice, chicken broth, and rosemary. Allow to simmer for 1 minute. Remove from heat.
  4. Add oregano to the chicken in the slow cooker. Pour ingredients from the pan over the chicken. Cook on high for 3 1/2 - 4 hours or low for 7 hours.
  5. Once done, remove the chicken and set aside. Pour liquid contents into a pan, and place over high heat. Add your cornstarch slurry and lightly whisk. Continue to whisk until it comes to a gentle boil. Remove from heat, and serve over chicken.

Notes

You can serve over your favorite choice of pasta or rice. I serve over an angel hair pasta, and used the broth to flavor the pasta.
