Chicken is one of my favorite ingredients to cook with, it's full of flavor and a good source of protein. Here is another tasty recipe that I love and you may enjoy also.

- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 4 boneless chicken breast halves
- Salt and pepper
- 4 cups canned low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 2 cups long-grain rice
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
Directions
1. Melt 2 Tbsp. butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add onion and cook until softened, stirring occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute longer. Scrape into slow cooker.
2. Sprinkle chicken with salt. Melt remaining 2 Tbsp. butter in skillet over medium high heat until foaming. Add chicken breast halves and cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to slow cooker.
3. Add 1 cup broth and lemon juice to skillet and bring to a boil, scraping browned bits from bottom of pan. Add to the slow cooker, along with remaining broth, rice and 1 tsp. salt.
