Notes
Recipe Tips
- Cook on low - I recommend cooking on low. This will give you a moist and tender chicken. High heat tends to dry the chicken out and may be rubbery.
- Cooking times may vary - depending on your crock pot and how big the chicken breasts are will make your cooking time vary. Make sure chicken if fully cooked and internal temperature is 165 degrees F.
