The chicken breasts cook up so tender and both lemon juice and lemon zest give plenty of bright lemon flavor to the sauce. A little cornstarch added at the end helps thicken the sauce some so it coats the sauce perfectly.
A tablespoon of chicken bouillon gives lots of depth of flavor to the sauce.
I pan-fried the chicken quickly first to sear the outside, but you could skip this step and add the raw chicken directly to the crock pot.
The sauce is also flavored with dried basil and crushed red pepper flakes for just a little heat.

How Long To Cook Chicken Breasts In Slow Cooker
Every slow cooker cooks a little bit differently so use the cooking time as an estimate. Chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. I prefer to cook chicken breasts on LOW in the slow cooker. They are too easy to overcook on HIGH and then they become dry and chewy. Cooked on LOW, they should be done in 3 and a half hours, but check them a little before the 3 hour mark.
Recipe Tip
Don’t leave the chicken in the slow cooker after it is done cooking. It will continue to cook and get overcooked.
How To Store
Leftovers can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 days and reheated in a microwave.
