Pinot Grigio Wine
This Slow Cooker Lemon Garlic Chicken recipe produces tender chicken with a lemon garlic butter sauce. I would pair this dish with a Pinot Grigio. The lime and lemon notes of the wine would pair well with the lemon garlic butter sauce. A Pinot Grigio is also a medium to full-bodied wine, with a rather low acidity and fairly neutral aromas.
