Here’s a simple and delicious way to cook raw chicken breasts in a slow cooker using just 4 ingredients:
🍗 Ingredients
- Chicken breasts – 2–4, raw, boneless and skinless
- Chicken broth – 1 cup (or water with 1 chicken bouillon)
- Garlic – 2–3 cloves, minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
- Seasoning of choice – salt, pepper, paprika, or Italian seasoning
Optional tweak: You can add onion slices or lemon juice for extra flavor without adding more “primary” ingredients.
🥘 Instructions
- Place chicken in the slow cooker.
- Add broth around the chicken (don’t cover completely; the slow cooker will keep it moist).
- Sprinkle garlic and seasoning over the top.
- Cook on:
- Low for 6–7 hours, or
- High for 3–4 hours
- Check internal temperature – chicken should reach 165°F (74°C) for safe eating.
- Shred or serve whole with the juices.
✅ Tips
- For extra flavor, sear the chicken in a pan before slow cooking.
- You can reserve the juices to make a simple gravy or sauce.
- Perfect for meal prep: shred and use in salads, wraps, or tacos.
If you want, I can give a super easy variation that makes it creamy or tangy with just one extra ingredient. It’s like 5 ingredients but really adds a lot of flavor. Do you want me to do that?
