Instructions
1

Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides. Place the seasoned chicken in the bottom of the crock pot.

2

Squeeze the juice of two fresh lemons over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated. Add the zest of one lemon for an extra burst of flavor.

3

Next, layer the artichoke hearts and sun-dried tomatoes over the chicken, distributing them evenly. Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth to keep the dish moist and flavorful.

4

Sprinkle the chopped fresh basil over the top, reserving a small amount for garnish. Set the crock pot to low and cook for 6 to 8 hours, or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.

5

Once done, carefully remove the chicken and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve the chicken on a platter, drizzled with the cooking juices and garnished with the reserved basil.

6

Pair this dish with a side of quinoa or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
