- 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning
- 1 pinch of Sea salt
- 1 pinch of Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon of Butter
Instructions
- Heat 0.5 tbsp of Olive oil in a frying pan and add 340 g of Chicken breasts. Fry for 2 minutes on both sides.
- Put the seared chicken breasts into your slow cooker.
- Pour over 125 ml of Chicken stock, sprinkle over 1 tbsp of Italian seasoning, 1 pinch of Sea salt and 1 pinch of Ground black pepper and add 1 tbsp of Butter.
- Cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-8 hours.
Notes
- It is important to use the right amount of liquid when slow cooking chicken breasts. Too much liquid can result in a watery sauce, while too little liquid can result in dry chicken.
- Chicken breast can be brined before cooking, if you wish. Rinse after brining. This step is optional.
- Browning the chicken before placing it in the slow cooker can add flavour and texture to the dish. Brown the chicken in a pan on the stove before adding it to the slow cooker. This will help to seal in the juices and create a crispy exterior.
- You can skip the browning though if you are short on time.
