🍗 Slow Cooker Chicken Breasts with 4 Simple Ingredients
Making chicken in a slow cooker is easy, juicy, and flavorful, even with just a few ingredients. Here’s a simple recipe using 4 basic ingredients.
Ingredients
-
2–4 raw chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
-
1 cup of chicken broth (or water with a bouillon cube)
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder (or 2–3 minced garlic cloves)
-
1 teaspoon paprika (smoky or sweet, your choice)
Optional: Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Place chicken in the slow cooker – Lay breasts flat in a single layer if possible.
-
Add the ingredients – Pour chicken broth over the chicken, then sprinkle garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
-
Cook on low – 4–6 hours, or high for 2–3 hours, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
-
Shred or serve – You can shred the chicken for tacos, sandwiches, or salads, or serve whole with vegetables.
Tips for Extra Flavor
-
Add 1 teaspoon dried herbs (like thyme or oregano) for a subtle aroma.
-
Include sliced onions or bell peppers to make a simple one-pot meal.
-
For a thicker sauce, remove the chicken and simmer the liquid for 10–15 minutes.
