Low FODMAP Slow Cooker Lemon Chicken

I’ve seen several incarnations of this recipe making their way around Pinterest. It sounded so good, I decided to make a low-FODMAP version because of my IBS. The recipe mainly calls for lemon juice and a packet of Italian salad dressing mix. The lemon juice works since lemons are low-FODMAP. The packet of Italian dressing mix is another story. Lots of onion and garlic. Not good. So I decided to make my own mix of salt, pepper and herbs (sans onion and garlic).


To flavor the chicken and sauce with garlic, infused oil may be used. It’s easy to make your own (follow my directions here) or you can purchase Fody Garlic-Infused Oil. Don’t be daunted by the long list of ingredients. It’s mostly different herbs. This really is a very easy dish!

Another note on the flour. I like to use a mix of flours in this recipe. Not only to help brown the chicken, but to help thicken the sauce as it cooks. Potato and tapioca starches are great for thickening and I like the rice flour for browning. Use whatever gluten-free flour you have on hand.

How to Make Lemon Chicken

How to Make Low FODMAP Slow Cooker Lemon Chicken

  1. Dredge the chicken in the flour

    Combine the flour with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper on a plate. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour until coated.

  2. Brown the chicken

    Melt butter and oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and brown chicken on all sides.

  3. Deglaze the pan with the wine

    Remove skillet from heat and transfer the chicken to the slow cooker. Deglaze the pan with the wine, scraping up any browned bits. Pour this over the chicken in the slow cooker.

  4. Combine in the slow cooker

    Pour chicken broth and lemon juice over top of chicken. Sprinkle with herbs and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add any remaining flour mixture and stir well.

  5. Cook

    Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or high for 2 1/2 hours.

  6. Serve
