Wash chicken and pat dry with paper towels.
Place a slow cooker liner in the crock of the slow cooker for easy clean up.
Combine chicken stock/broth, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano and chicken bouillon in the slow cooker; gently stir to dissolve bouillon. When bouillon has dissolved, add chicken and butter.
Cover; cook on Low 2 hours or just until chicken is cooked through and tender. DO NOT overcook chicken breasts or they will become dry.
Remove chicken from slow cooker; dice, slice or leave breasts whole; transfer to a serving dish.
Stir together cornstarch and water in a medium saucepan. Place the liquid from the slow cooker in the saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat; bring to a boil, whisking continuously. When sauce comes to a boil, reduce heat to low; simmer 1 minute. Remove from heat.
Add salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle in a few drops of the fresh lemon juice for a little zing or a pinch of sugar, if too tart.
Pour sauce over chicken. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve over rice or pasta with a lemon wedge on the side.
6-8 servings.
** Quickly sear the chicken first in a skillet if you would like the chicken to have a nicer, browned presentation.
