1

Gather all the ingredients.
2

In a 4- to 5-quart slow cooker, stir together the chicken broth, garlic, heavy cream, Italian seasoning, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
3

Season the chicken on both sides with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, sear half of the chicken until browned, 3 minutes per side.
4

Remove the chicken from the skillet and place it in the slow cooker. Repeat with the remaining oil and chicken. Cover and cook on low for 2 to 3 hours, or until the chicken reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) on an instant-read thermometer.
5

Using tongs, transfer the chicken and garlic cloves to a serving platter.
6

Whisk the lemon juice and cornstarch together in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Add the cooking liquid to the bowl; microwave for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until thickened. Stir the lemon zest into the sauce.
7

Serve the chicken with the lemon sauce and lemon wedges, if desired. Enjoy!
