Ingredients

For the Chicken Piccata:
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil for browning, optional
1/2 cup chicken broth low-sodium
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons capers drained
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard optional
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Equipment

Crockpot or slow cooker
Measuring spoons and cups
Tongs or spatula

Method

Prepare the Chicken:

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. If desired, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and brown the chicken breasts on both sides for about 2-3 minutes each. This step is optional, but it enhances the flavor of the chicken.

Add to the Crockpot:

Place the chicken breasts into the slow cooker. Pour chicken broth, lemon juice, capers, Dijon mustard (if using), garlic powder, and oregano over the chicken.

Cook:

Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 4 hours or high for 2 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts from the crockpot. Stir the sauce in the slow cooker to combine the flavors.

Serve:

Return the chicken to the sauce and spoon some sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Serve Hot:

Serve the Crockpot Chicken Piccata over pasta, rice, or with roasted vegetables for a complete meal.

Notes

You can add a teaspoon of cornstarch mixed with water if you prefer a thicker sauce.
For extra flavor, serve with a side of garlic bread or a green salad.
