Liberally season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper. Sear the chicken on one side until browned, about 5 minutes. - Place the potatoes in a 6-quart or larger slow cooker. Sprinkle with the 1/2 teaspoon salt. Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker, seared-side up. Pour in the broth, lemon juice, and capers. - Cover and cook on the LOW setting until the chicken is cooked through, tender, and registers an internal temperature of 165°F, 3 1/2 to 4 hours. Meanwhile, use your fingers to rub the flour into the butter; set aside. - Transfer the chicken and potatoes to a serving dish. Pour the liquid and capers into a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Add the butter mixture, whisking constantly until it's completely incorporated into the sauce. Cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce is thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve over the chicken and potatoes, garnished with the parsley. {{tag>chicken slow_cooker red_potatoes potatoes stock capers parsley}} ~~NOTOC~~ ~~DISCUSSION|Notes~~
