Lemon Basil Chicken

There are actually far more complex directions to this recipe, involving pan frying, removing to a plate, reducing the sauce, and all kinds of crap I just don't have the patience for.

wolf version ...

8 boneless breasts of chicken.

This is, in fact, enough chicken to feed an army. Leftovers are part of the point here, unless you decide to make this for a party or something. You will have enough meat and stock for soup and a couple of rounds of chicken salad or whatever.

So, throw the chicken boobs into a crock pot.

Slice up three tablespoons of fresh basil throw that on top of the chicken.

Hide four tablespoons of butter amongst the chicken titties.

zest a lemon, throw two teaspoons of the peel in there.

squeeze the lemon, two tablespoons go into the crockpot.

Pour 1 cup of chicken broth over everything.

Ignore it on low heat for 6-8 hours.

Gorge yourself on lemon basil chicken goodness.

The stock will be pretty thin, think soup rather than sauce. You can reduce it by half in a pan in order to use it as sauce, otherwise, consider it soup, and cut up a couple of the breasts into it, and since you have leftover broth anyway, use it to cook up some carrots, celery, and other favorite soup veggies, and then add that into the breasts and broth.
