Slow cooker chicken is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many ways. The secret to melt-in-your-mouth slow cooker chicken is to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts and to cook them on low heat for at least 8 hours. This will allow the chicken to become incredibly tender and juicy. Slow cooker chicken can be seasoned with a variety of herbs and spices, and can be served on its own or with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables. Whether you're looking for a simple yet flavorful meal or a dish that can be easily prepared ahead of time, slow cooker chicken is a great option.

MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH SLOW COOKER CHICKEN
This recipe using only three chicken breasts is very economical and super delicious! My kids love it and they are extremely picky. The chicken just melts in your mouth and is so flavorful! Garlic bread and salad goes well with this meal. I always taste before serving so I will know what, if anything more, I need to add such as Parmesan, Italian dressing, or milk if it's too thick, etc.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts are best for slow cooking. They will stay moist and flavorful during the long cooking time.
- Season the chicken well: Be generous with your seasonings. You can use a store-bought blend or make your own. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, rosemary, and salt and pepper.
- Brown the chicken before cooking: This will help to seal in the flavor and juices. You can brown the chicken in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes per side.
- Add vegetables to the slow cooker: Vegetables will add flavor and nutrition to your dish. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and broccoli.
- Cook on low for 6-8 hours: This will give the chicken time to cook through and become fall-off-the-bone tender.
- Serve over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes: This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.
Conclusion:
Slow cooker chicken is an easy and delicious way to feed your family a healthy and satisfying meal.
