Crockpot Shredded Lemon Chicken

This is probably the easiest meal I've ever made. In fact, I almost feel guilty is was so easy - but not too guilty because it was absolutely delicious. 4 ingredients, 1 crockpot, and you're done. Easy.


4 T. butter 
3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed
1 packet Italian dressing mix
Zest of 1 lemon
Juice of 2 lemons

Place butter in the bottom of crockpot and turn on low. Add seasoning packet and chicken to a large, resealable plastic bag; shake to coat. Place chicken on top of butter; top with lemon zest and juice. Cover and cook 5-6 hours on low. Before serving, shred chicken with two forks; add back into juices and stir. Serve over steamed rice.
