Amish Lemon Asparagus Chicken Slow Cooker

Serves: 4

What You Need

2 pounds chicken breasts (no skin or bones)
Juice from 2 big lemons (about 1/3 cup)
1 pound fresh asparagus, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper (if you want)

How to Make Amish Lemon Asparagus Chicken

Put raw chicken breasts flat in a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker. A little overlap is okay.
Squeeze lemon juice right over the chicken. Use your fingers or a strainer to catch seeds. Let it cover the chicken good.
Spread the cream of chicken soup on top with a spoon. Cover most of the chicken. Don’t add water or milk—the soup stays thick.
Sprinkle salt all over. Put on the lid.
Cook on Low for 4-5 hours, or High for 2.5-3 hours. Chicken is done at 165°F inside. It makes a yummy lemon sauce.
30 minutes before eating, take off lid. Add asparagus on top. Push it into the sauce a bit.
Put lid back. Cook on High 20-30 more minutes till asparagus is bright green and crunchy-tender. Don’t cook too long or it gets soft.
Taste sauce. Add salt if needed. Add pepper if you like.
Serve chicken with asparagus on top. Spoon sauce over it. Great with noodles, potatoes, rice, or bread!
