Herbed Slow Cooker Chicken Recipe

By traciesparks

In Bogalusa, Louisiana, Sundra Hauck uses her slow cooker to prepare well-seasoned chicken breasts that cook up moist and tender. "My daughter, who has two young sons to keep up with, shared this with me several years ago," she relates. "I've made it repeatedly."

Definitley one of my family's favourites! The flavours are excellent and I have used this rub to prepare the chicken in the oven and on the grill. I have also used chicken quarters instead of breasts. I use a Knorr Homestyle Stock to make the chicken broth, it is very handy and most tasty.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon browning sauce, optional
• 4 bone-in chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)
• 1/2 cup chicken broth

Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the first eight ingredients; rub over chicken. Place in a 5-qt. slow cooker; add broth. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until meat is tender. Yield: 4 servings.
