- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock pot in a single layer.
Season the chicken evenly with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Pour the chicken broth over the seasoned chicken to keep it moist during cooking.
Add the butter on top of the chicken breasts. This adds richness and enhances the flavor.
Sprinkle dried parsley over the top for a touch of color and a hint of herbal flavor.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and set it to cook on LOW for 6 hours or HIGH for 4 hours.
Once the chicken is tender and fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C), remove it from the crock pot.
Optional: Shred the chicken with two forks or serve whole with your favorite sides.
Serve warm and enjoy with rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables!
