Crockpot Lemon Chicken

This is a great little recipe that's quicker than many crockpot recipes. I also successfully doubled this as well. We served with angel hair pasta and it was delish!

Ingredients
1tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
2lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast
2 Tbs butter
1/4 c water
3 Tbs lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp chicken bouillon granules
8oz pkg cream cheese (lowfat or fat free works fine)\
Fresh parsley for garnish

Mix oregano, salt and pepper and rub into chicken breasts. Melt the butter in a skillet and brown the chicken breasts 3 to 5 minutes on both sides. Place chicken in slow cooker.
In the same skillet, mix water, lemon juice, garlic and bouillon. Bring to a boil. Pour over the chicken in the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on high for 3 hours or low for 6 hours. Add the parsley to the slow cooker 15-30 minutes before the end of the cooking time.
About 15min before you're ready to serve, remove the chicken and add cream cheese. Whisk until smooth and serve over chicken on a bed of rice or pasta.
