Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1/4 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
4 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp capers, drained
2 large eggs
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Lemon slices, for garnish
Directions:
Dredge Chicken: Mix flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Coat chicken breasts in the flour mixture, tapping off excess.
Brown Chicken: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Brown chicken on each side (3-4 minutes per side) and transfer to the slow cooker.
Make Sauce: In the same skillet, combine chicken broth, lemon juice, white wine, and garlic. Simmer briefly, then pour over chicken in the slow cooker.
Cook: Set slow cooker to low and cook for 4 hours.
Final Touches: Whisk eggs and Parmesan cheese together. Pour into slow cooker around the chicken, adding the remaining butter and capers. Cook for another 15 minutes or until sauce thickens.
Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and garnish with lemon slices before serving.
Variations & Tips:
Thicker Sauce: For a thicker sauce, whisk a teaspoon of cornstarch with water and stir into the sauce for the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Alcohol-Free: Substitute white wine with additional chicken broth if desired.
Spicy Kick: Add crushed red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
Even Cooking: Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness for consistent cooking.
