Description
Tender and flavorful slow cooker chicken breasts seasoned with a blend of herbs and spices, cooked low and slow for juicy, perfectly cooked meat. This easy recipe requires minimal effort and is perfect for a wholesome weeknight dinner or meal prep.
Ingredients
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon dried parsley
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
⅛ teaspoon pepper
⅛ teaspoon onion powder
⅛ teaspoon paprika
¼ cup low-sodium chicken broth
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 lbs)
1 tablespoon salted butter
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together salt, dried parsley, garlic powder, pepper, onion powder, and paprika to create an even spice blend.
Generously season both sides of each chicken breast with the spice mixture ensuring full coverage for flavor.
Pour ¼ cup of low-sodium chicken broth into a 4 to 6-quart slow cooker. Place the seasoned chicken breasts inside.
Slice the tablespoon of salted butter into small pieces and place them evenly on top of the chicken breasts for added richness.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 3 hours or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F, ensuring safe and tender results.
Carefully remove the chicken breasts to a cutting board, cover them loosely, and let rest for 10 minutes. This helps retain juices when slicing for clean, tender pieces.
Notes
Substitution: For a dairy-free version, use coconut oil or vegan butter in place of regular butter.
