Cooking Steps
- Prepare the Chicken: Rinse the chicken thighs under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Season the Chicken: Rub the lemon pepper seasoning and salt evenly over the chicken thighs.
- Sauté the Chicken (optional): In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sear the chicken thighs for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. This step adds extra flavor but is not mandatory.
- Transfer to Slow Cooker: Place the seasoned chicken thighs in the slow cooker.
- Add Broth and Lemon Juice: Pour the chicken broth and fresh lemon juice over the chicken.
- Add Garlic: Sprinkle the minced garlic over the top.
- Cook: Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
- Serve: Once done, carefully remove the chicken thighs from the slow cooker. You can thicken the sauce in the slow cooker by turning it to high and cooking uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes, if desired.
- Garnish: Top with fresh parsley before serving.
