1/4 cup lemon juice
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp thyme
Salt to taste

Instructions
Prepare the chicken: Place the 4 chicken breasts evenly at the bottom of the crockpot to ensure even cooking.
Make the lemon garlic mixture: In a bowl, combine 1/4 cup lemon juice, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well to blend flavors.
Pour over chicken: Pour the lemon garlic mixture over the chicken breasts, making sure each piece is coated evenly for maximum flavor infusion.

Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the lemon garlic mixture for 30 minutes before cooking.
Use fresh garlic cloves instead of garlic powder for best taste.
Adjust salt and pepper according to your preference.
Chicken thighs can be substituted for breasts if preferred.
Serve with a side of steamed vegetables to make it more wholesome.
