Turn on a large skillet to medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter.

Season 4 chicken breasts with 1.5 teaspoons Italian seasoning, 0.5 teaspoon salt, and 0.25 teaspoon black pepper on both sides.

Place the chicken breasts in the skillet, seasoned side down, and season the top side with the same seasonings.

Let the chicken sear for about 3 minutes without moving it to lock in juices and flavor.

Flip the chicken and cook for a few more minutes until golden brown, then remove from skillet and place in a crock pot.

Lightly spray the inside of the crock pot with nonstick cooking spray before adding the seared chicken breasts.

In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and scrape the pan to de-glaze, picking up all the bits.

Add 0.25 cup chicken broth and 1 teaspoon Better Than Bouillon chicken flavor to the skillet and keep on medium-low heat.

Add any remaining seasonings from the chicken to the skillet along with 3 minced garlic cloves, and cook for about 1 minute.

Zest 2 lemons and then squeeze the juice out, adding both to the skillet and stirring for about 1 minute.

Pour the sauce over the chicken in the crock pot and place 1 piece of butter on each chicken breast.

Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 3-4 hours or high for 2-3 hours until the chicken is tender.

After 3 hours, whisk together 1 cup heavy whipping cream and 1 tablespoon cornstarch.

Stack the chicken breasts on top of each other in the crock pot and pour the cream mixture over them.

Add 0.25 teaspoon cracked black pepper and 0.25 cup shredded parmesan cheese, then mix everything together.

Place slices of lemon on top, cover, and set the crock pot to high for 1 hour.
