Ingredients

3 lbs. chicken breasts
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup chicken broth or water (optional, see note)
6 oz. garlic cloves (approximately 20 cloves)

Instructions

Arrange chicken in a slow cooker insert, trying to arrange in a single row if possible.
Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt, black pepper and paprika. Top with garlic cloves.
Cook on high for 3 to 4 hours or until the internal temperature reads 160 with a meat thermometer.
Eat whole over rice, slice or shred.

Notes

You may need to add liquid in the slow cooker in form of chicken broth and water depending on what types of chicken breasts you use.

We used packaged, peeled garlic cloves, but you can absolutely buy whole cloves. Whack them with a knife and peel off the skins before using.

The chicken will be done in 3 to 4 hours when cooking on high or 7 to 8 hours when cooking on low. To ensure moist chicken that isn't dry, cook it to 165 degrees F on a meat thermometer.

The cooking time will need to be adjusted if you layer up your chicken breasts on top of each other. We try to keep it in a single layer as much as possible.

If you plan to shred, we recommend letting it cool for a few minutes so all the juices don't escape which will leave you with dry chicken.
