Loved it! I did not have lemon zest, but will Make sure I will next time (I am sure it will make a difference. ) Made jasmine rice to hubby & cauliflower rice for me. Leeks are super healthy, so I am glad to find a recipe that was delicious & healthy. Thank you!

I love this recipe and add cauliflower rice or zoodles on the side. Very tasty. Easy to cook. Just a frying pan/ skillet for starting off the chicken, and then everything happens in the slow cooker.

Great taste easy in slow cooker. I was adequately full but read that you can have zoodles or cauli rice on the side.

Where is the lemon zest in the ingredients?

Hi Raquel, thank you for spotting this error. I have now updated the recipe, which should be showing live soon. There is 1 teaspoon of lemon zest required.
