Ingredients
  

  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into cutlets or pounded thin)
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • ½ cup dry white wine or chicken broth for non-alcoholic version
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • Juice of 1 lemon plus a few slices for garnish
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley optional for garnish

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prep The Chicken

  • Slice your chicken breasts in half lengthwise to make cutlets. If they’re thick, give them a gentle pound with a mallet to even them out. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Step 2: Coat And Sear

  • Set up two shallow bowls—one with flour and the other with beaten eggs. Dip each chicken cutlet into the flour, shake off excess, then dip into the egg wash.
  • Heat oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, sear the chicken for 2–3 minutes on each side, just until golden. You're not cooking it through—just building flavor.

Step 3: Assemble In The Crockpot

  • Transfer the seared chicken to your crockpot. In the same skillet, pour in the wine and scrape up those browned bits. Let it simmer for a minute, then add chicken broth and lemon juice.
  • Pour the mixture over the chicken in the crockpot. Add a few lemon slices on top.

Step 4: Slow Cook

  • Cover and cook on low for 3–4 hours or high for 2 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
