This easy crock pot chicken breast recipe is everything you want in a comfort meal — tender, juicy, and full of flavor with just a few pantry staples. Whether you're meal prepping or feeding the family, it's nourishing, simple, and packed with love.
Pour chicken broth into the bottom of your slow cooker.
In a small bowl, mix together salt, onion powder, thyme, paprika, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Drizzle olive oil over chicken breasts, then coat evenly with the seasoning mix using your hands.
Place chicken in a single layer inside the slow cooker. Pour any remaining broth and seasoning over the top.
Cover and cook on LOW for 4–6 hours or on HIGH for 3–4 hours, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove chicken and let rest for a few minutes. Then slice or shred depending on how you plan to serve it.
Optional: Spoon a bit of the leftover broth over the chicken for added flavor and moisture before serving.
