Super-easy Crockpot Lemon Chicken and Baked Potatoes

Super-easy Crockpot Lemon Chicken and Baked Potatoes
Ingredients:
chicken breasts
lemon juice
oregano
garlic or powdered garlic
baking potatoes

All right, this is more of a method than a recipe, but it's so easy and yummy I thought I'd share.

Place your desired number of chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot. If they're frozen, no need to thaw. Sprinkle generously with oregano. Add some garlic, minced or powdered. Add some lemon juice (about 1/4 cup, bottled is fine).

Tear off a piece of foil. Layer it over the chicken so it separates the chicken from the top of the cooker. Scrub the potatoes and set them on top. The foil layer makes them a "drier" baked potato, whereas just tossing them in with the chicken will make them more likely to fall apart - but also more lemony.

Cook 4 hours on high or about 8 on low. Serve with salad.
