I'll never make this again. Two weeks ago my husbund called me at home to say he invited his boss to our house for supper that night. I franicked. I just picked my dauther up from school because she had pinkeye and to make matters worst, it was two days before my husbunds payday and we were out of meat with no money to by none either. I dug through the deep freeze and found some chicken and I checked the internet for a recipie. I was in the mood for tangy but I didn't want to fuss because I had to take my dauther to rite aids to pick up her subscription. This recipie sounded good to me and I just figured everyone else on here just gave it a bad rate because they messed it up. I dumped all the ingerdents in the crockpot and said a little prayer. At Rite aids, I picked up a box of white wine. When we came home, it smelled lemon-y and garlic-y. I boiled some minute rice and eggerly waited for my husbund and his boss to come home. When they came home, I had my dauther poor them some white wine. My husbund said she shouldnt because her eye was swolled up but I she washed her hands. After we all prayed, I started to ladle to Slow Cooker Garlic Chicken I over the minute rice I could tell it was going to be a disaster. My husbunds boss "Jeff" tried to hide his discust at overburdensome fragrants. My husbund wasn't speaking to me because he was mad about the wine thing. I could tell he was real mad. "Jeff" ate half and then exused himself for a call and said he had to leave. My da

Count me in as another person who wished she'd read the reviews first. The chicken was chalky-dry, and the lemon overpowered everything, including the garlic. Dreadful.

I thought this was great. I cut back on the wine and lemon juice, increased the broth, added some dry white rice, and it was delicious! I'll definately be making this again.

This is the worst recipe I have gotten from this site. Actually, this is the worst recipe I've ever made. I always look at the reviews, and I was in such a hurry to get some quick recipes I forgot to look. I saw the reviews after it was already cooking, and thought I would give it a try. I added a cup of chicken broth while it was cooking. It did not help. It tastes soooo bitter. My husband and I poured barbeque sauce all over the chicken, and were able to eat it.

My rating is based on a couple of changes I made to the recipe, not on the original. Like others, I cut back on the lemon and I replaced the wine with chicken broth. I also added tomatoes, mushrooms, and olives. Came out pretty good!

Very simple recipe. It comes out too lemony though, so I suggest replacing one cup of lemon juice with one cup of water. You can also add a packet of apple cider mix to the cup of water for more flavor.

After reading reviews I tried cooking this with some changes, and I think it came out well... instead of 3 cups white wine use 2.5 cups chicken broth and 1 cup white wine and reduce the lemon juice to 1/2 cup. To reduce the liquid I also added a cup of dry rice in there and it had great flavor.

As a work at home mother of a fiest 1 year old I depend on quick meals when I can. Let's just say I will pay more attention to the ratings on recipes. I seen this one and the creator of it made the recipe sound so delicious and simple. I gave it a try and it smelled really good during the day. When my family sat down for dinner I was ashamed that I had made it when I seen the look on their faces. This recipe is really bad. The sourness of the sauce is so over powering that it is hard to even take a couple bites, not to mention that it leaves you so thirsty you will probably drink a gallon of liquid afterwards. Needless to say I would not recommend this.

I wish I had noticed the rating on this before I cooked it. I even put less lemon in than was required and added rice to soak up some of the juice. complete waste of food and good wine.

Funny story... my wonderful husband made this recipe for my birthday dinner. Have you read the other reviews? I must echo the review stating that this isn't good. I don't think I've tasted anything quite like this... it's almost a chicken flavored "sour patch kids" or "war head". Please do not make this recipe...

I served this dish with chicken flavored rice. The flavor was really nice but I was surprised to find it a little dry. I'll definitly try it again though.

The bitterness is caused by cooking lemon juice for so long. All you have to do to make this really good is use lemon ZEST in with the wine at the beginning and add only 3/4 cup of lemon juice during the last 15 minutes or so of cooking. Also, adding fresh herbs about the same time really makes it delicious.

No, frozen chicken does not make the difference in this recipe. I tried frozen chicken breasts and cutting the lemon juice with water but it was still too sour. The garlic aroma was great but just too sour for any of us to eat it.

FROZEN chicken is the tip. You would HAVE to use frozen chicken so the chicken is not to be so strong with the lemon and wine and the water from defrosting during cooking is released into the cooking liquid and reduces its strentgh. Reduce the wine to 1 cup and lemon to 1/2 cup. I thickened with a roux and it was fine.
