Ingredients

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon coarse black pepper
• 1/3 cup butter
• 4 1/2 to 5 pounds chicken breasts with bone and skin
• 2/3 cup dry white wine

Preparation

Step 1

In a large resealable plastic bag, add flour, salt and black pepper. Seal and shake to blend. Add a few chicken breasts to the bag and shake until evenly coated; set aside. Repeat with remaining chicken breasts.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add chicken, skin-side-down, cooking about 4 minutes or until skin is golden brown. Place chicken skin-side-up in a slow cooker crock. Pour wine, lemon juice, broth and capers over chicken.
Cover slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 2 hours or LOW for 4 hours or until chicken is cooked through and tender. Remove chicken to a serving platter. Cover with foil to keep warm.
In a small bowl, stir water and cornstarch until cornstarch is dissolved. Transfer liquid from crock to a medium skillet. Stir in cornstarch mixture. Place skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring constantly, about 3 minutes or until mixture is slightly thickened. Pour mixture over chicken. Garnish with lemon slices.
