Step 1

Place the chicken breasts into the bottom of your slow cooker. They should be in a single, even layer.

Step 2

Season both sides with salt and pepper, and any other seasonings, herbs, fats, or sauces that you like. See blog post for more commentary.

Step 3

Cook on low for approximately 3 hours* until the meat registers at least 165F on a digital thermometer.

Step 4

Let the meat rest for at least 10 minutes before shredding or cutting, otherwise the juices will run out of the meat. Then, it is ready to eat and be used in recipes.
