Put raw whole chicken in a slow cooker with these 3 ingredients. It’s better than rotisserie.

There’s something incredibly comforting about coming home to the aroma of a delicious meal that’s been simmering away all day. This Slow Cooker 4-Ingredient Lemon Herb Chicken is one of those recipes that feels like a warm hug after a long day. Growing up in the Midwest, Sundays were often reserved for family dinners, and this dish brings back those cozy memories. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a meal that’s both flavorful and fuss-free, perfect for busy professionals like us who still want to enjoy a home-cooked meal without spending hours in the kitchen.

This lemon herb chicken pairs beautifully with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.

A glass of chilled white wine or a refreshing iced tea would complement the meal perfectly.
