Crock Pot Low Calorie Lemon Chicken
"A quick and easy, slow-cooked lemon chicken main course dish that can be cooking on a low heat while you are at work. Vary the canned soup you use according to your preferences. And if you have a bit more time, add chopped onions and garlic, and a little more liquid. If you want your chicken to be more lemony, include some freshly squeezed lemon juice in place of some of the water and, for more flavour, add half a cup of wine. I have made this with mushrooms, chopped, instead of a range of vegetables and canned mushroom soup. When making this dish, I have always included one chopped onion and 2-3 cloves of chopped garlic. And then allowed myself a little more liquid, usually a cup of wine.

Okay I must have messed up need to buy some new lemon pepper seasoning. Mine was terrible. It reminded me of Mexican candy and it was supposed to be dinner. I will try one more time to see if that was it. -
My husband and I really enjoyed this recipe. I didn't use any wine, but a can of low fat cream of celery soup, half a can of chicken broth, and the juice of half a lemon made a terrific sauce along with the required spices. I used carrots and broccoli as my vegetables. This was quick, easy and tasty and will be made again! Thanks for posting! -
I enjoyed this recipe, I did add the garlic and white wine to the sauce, just to give it extra flavor. The chicken was sooo tender, it practically fell apart when I stabbed it with a fork! Thanks for submitting! -
We really enjoyed this! I did not use the wine, but may next time to see how it turns out! Thank you for sharing this great recipe! -
I'd really hoped to enjoy this more than we did, but the lemon pepper seasoning was so overwhelming in it. My son wouldn't touch it, but ate the sides. I cooked fresh broccoli and cauliflower in with it and two of us thoroughly enjoyed the flavor of the veggies. It did produce tender chicken though, which so often is hard to do in a crockpot, so I liked that part. Thanks for posting!

Excellent ! Easy enough to leave with DH to do and very tasty result indeed. I also enjoyed this for lunch the following days. The one any only change he made was using regular chicken soup in place of "cream of " since there are no "cream of's" in regular supermarkets here and I couldn't manage to get across town during a very busy week to the UK/USA shop. Please see my Rating System: for ease of making and maximum taste, healthy and great on a budget it's a winning 5 stars. Thanks!

We really liked this recipe. I substituted cooking wine for the water as someone recommended, and it really gave the dish a nice flavor. The only thing we will do differently the next time is to add brown rice to the remaining sauce to make a nice side dish.

Good, tender and tasty chicken but mine fell apart during the long cooking process. I added some wine and used 1 onion, garlic and bell pepper for the vegetables. also used 1/2 tsp of basil and oregano instead of Italian seasoning which I didn't have. Thanks for sharing! -
Tasty and satisfying. Followed the receipe, including onions and garlic, added a can of peas w/carrots last hour, also substituted 1 cup wine for water. Excellent! -
Always looking for new recipes for chicken and for those really busy days chicken in a crock pot is good ... and this recipe is really good! I made it using the onions, garlic and lots of mushrooms (will really load it with onions and mushrooms the next time around!) I used chicken broth instead of the cream of chicken soup ... (only because I am not all that fond of creamed chicken soup.) I will be giving it a go with the cream of mushroom soup which the family loves. I also may add more liquid and serve as a soup. A five and a keeper. Thank you for sharing.

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority!
<br>
<br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
