Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, cubed
  • 3 cloves garlic, smashed

Instructions:

  1. Place the smashed garlic and cubed butter at the bottom of the crockpot, then pour in the chicken broth to create a flavor buffer.
  2. In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Rub the seasoning blend evenly over all sides of the chicken breasts.
  4. Place the seasoned chicken breasts into the slow cooker, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
  5. Cover and cook on the LOW setting for 6 hours without opening the lid.
  6. Use a meat thermometer to check that the thickest part of the chicken has reached 165°F (74°C), then remove immediately.
  7. Allow the chicken to rest on a plate for 10 minutes before slicing or shredding to redistribute juices.
