- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 cup capers, drained

- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

- 2 cloves garlic, minced

If you’re out of capers, olives can be a great substitute. And for those avoiding gluten, a gluten-free flour blend works just as well in this recipe.
Instructions
Now, let’s get cooking! Follow these steps to create a delicious meal that will have everyone asking for seconds.
- In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and cook until browned on each side, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to the crockpot.
- Add garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth, lemon juice, and oregano, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a simmer.
- Pour the broth mixture over the chicken in the crockpot. Add capers on top.
- Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
- Before serving, sprinkle chopped parsley over the chicken for a fresh burst of flavor.
