What's for Dinner? Slow-Cooker Lemon Chicken

Steve and I have been trying out new foods these days.  We have several cookbooks that we have been using to get new recipes.  This weeks find was slow-cooker lemon chicken.  It was AMAZING!  How many of you have tried to cook chicken 10 million different ways and it still turns out dry?  Well not with this recipe.  The chicken was so moist it almost melted in your mouth.  Yes - it was that GOOD!
 This is the book that the receipe came out of (I think it's on page 139).

It was suggested to serve it with steamed green beans with slivered almonds (we skipped the almonds since we aren't sure if my oldest son, Bart is allergic to them) and a sliced tomato with 1/2 oz crumbled feta cheese.

It was delicious.

This is a must try.

Enjoy!
