Notes

Chicken Pieces: Use chicken breasts that are roughly the same size to ensure they cook evenly.

Doneness: You're chicken is ready when the chicken cooks to 165° F. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature of the chicken before removing it from the crock pot. Cooking times may vary depending on your individual slow cooker and the size or thickness of the chicken.

Sear Your Chicken: If you prefer to brown the chicken breasts before adding it to the slow cooker you can cook them in a bit of olive oil over medium-high to brown each side.

Low Heat is Best: I highly recommend sticking with the low heat for the best results. This allows the chicken to cook slowly and tenderize perfectly.
