Ingredients
- 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped

Instructions
- In a shallow dish, mix together 1/2 cup of flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Dredge the chicken breasts in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken breasts on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to the slow cooker.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in 1 cup of chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then pour it over the chicken in the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of heavy cream, 1/4 cup of lemon juice, chopped rosemary, and thyme leaves. Pour the mixture over the cooked chicken in the slow cooker, stirring gently to combine. Cook for an additional 15-20 minutes on low.
