Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Additional herbs (e.g., thyme or rosemary) for added flavor (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Make sure they fit comfortably without crowding.
- Mix the sauce: In a bowl, combine the chicken broth, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
- Pour the mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and is tender.
- Once cooked, you can either shred the chicken with forks or serve it whole. Use it in your favorite recipes as desired.
Notes
Use fresh or properly thawed chicken breasts for even cooking. Don’t rush the cooking; cooking on low allows the chicken to become tender and absorb more flavor.
