This Creamy Lemon Butter Garlic Chicken recipe is a great one for the slow cooker. I use the slow cook option on my Instant Pot. Another reason why I love the Instant Pot, it doubles as a pressure cooker and slow cooker! This recipe has a great lemon flavor with delicious creamy sauce. It would be great on pasta, but we had ours with white rice and asparagus.

The recipe calls for half and half, but whole milk or a mixture of milk and heavy cream works too. I just use whatever I have on hand and make it work. I used whole milk with a splash of heavy cream because I didn’t have half and half this day.
Here are some kitchen items I used in this recipe:
