1 (2 to 3 pound) whole chicken, giblets removed
ΒΌ cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon lemon pepper

I'm not a big fan of lemon pepper seasoning, but I decided to try this recipe anyway. I'm so glad I did! The sauce is amazing and the chicken is so tender.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I simply shredded the chicken and added it to the sauce. It was a quick and easy meal that my family loved.

I added some chopped carrots and celery to the slow cooker along with the chicken. It made the dish even more hearty and flavorful.

I wasn't sure how the chicken would turn out in the slow cooker, but it was cooked perfectly! It was moist and juicy, and the sauce was flavorful without being too heavy.
