Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 ½ cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon grainy mustard
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

  • Sprinkle each side of chicken with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Set aside. In a large skillet, over medium high heat, melt butter with olive oil. Add onion and garlic to skillet and saute for about 2 minutes.
  • Move onions and garlic to the side of the pan and add seasoned chicken to skillet. Cook chicken for 2 to 3 minutes, on each side, until nicely browned. Stir chicken, onions and garlic together then carefully transfer to the crock pot. Pour in chicken broth.
  • Cover and cook on low heat for 3 to 4 hours OR on high heat for 2 to 3 hours. (Internal temperature of chicken needs to reach 165 degrees F.) Remove chicken and cover to keep warm.
  • Add heavy cream, mustard and lemon juice to crock pot and whisk. To thicken sauce whisk in 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Place chicken back in the crock pot. Cover with lid and cook another 30 minutes or until sauce thickens a little. Uncover and stir. Add additional salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve chicken with creamy lemon sauce and enjoy!
