The days of summer are coming when no one wants to be in a hot kitchen. Today’s dish is a fix and forget entree with my favorite flavors of lemon and garlic. Brown the chicken breasts and place in a slow cooker with wine, lemon, and garlic. Serve with rice, pasta, or even mashed potatoes. It’s very versatile.
