Pinterest is my new favorite thing (you could follow me & see all my pretty pins). It’s pretty amazing & a big time suck at the same time.

I was browsing through Pinterest yesterday and found an easy lemon chicken recipe that I decided to put my spin on.

Recipes really don’t get much easier than this crockpot lemon chicken, and it was really good.

INGREDIENTS

Chicken – Boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
“Cream Of” Soup – I use cream of onion or cream of celery…or cream of chicken.
Lemon Pepper Seasoning – I put lemon pepper on nearly everything.
Lemon Juice – The juice of half a lemon.

I served my chicken over Uncle Ben’s Long Grain & Wild Ready Rice – a first for me, I’m usually opposed to any type of “instant” food, but I was pleasantly surprised.

TOOLS FOUND ON AMAZON TO HELP YOU MAKE THIS DISH:

My slow cooker of choice – of course you’ll need a slow cooker! If you’re in the market for a new one, I highly recommend this Hamilton Beach Set It & Forget It model. The ability to set the cook time before I leave for work then have it switch over to warm is awesome.
My favorite measuring spoons – I love that they’re magnetic so they’re not loose rolling around the drawer.
My favorite mixing bowls – My grandma got me these as a wedding shower gift and I love them. The grippy bottoms make mixing easier.

CAN YOU PUT FROZEN CHICKEN IN THE CROCKPOT

The safest, best answer to that question is no, you shouldn’t put frozen chicken in the crockpot.

Because of the amount of time it takes a slow cooker to get meat up to a safe temperature (it’s a slow cooker, after all), bacteria could contaminate the chicken. Meat should already be thawed when you place it in the crock pot.

Ideally, you’d thaw the chicken in the fridge the night before.

That said, I have used frozen chicken in a pinch and lived to tell the tale, but now that I know better, I don’t.
