1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 stick butter, diced
Zest of half a lemon
Juice of one lemon
1/3 cup low sodium chicken broth
Fresh parsley and lemon slices for garnish
Instructions
1. Place chicken thighs in crockpot. Combine broth, lemon juice, and zest, then pour over chicken. Mix Italian seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, chili flakes, salt, and pepper, then sprinkle over chicken. Add garlic and butter.
2. Cover and cook 3–4 hours on HIGH or 6–8 hours on LOW.

You can thicken the sauce by uncovering the crockpot during the last 20–30 minutes.
For extra citrus, add a small squeeze of lemon at the end instead of adding more at the start.
