Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, dried parsley, garlic powder, pepper, onion powder, and paprika.
Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides evenly with the spice mixture.
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker in a single layer.
Pour the chicken broth around the sides of the chicken, being careful not to wash off the seasoning.
Top each chicken breast with a small piece of the salted butter.
Cover and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Once done, let it rest for a few minutes before opening the lid, then remove the chicken breasts and let them rest before slicing or serving.
Notes
Use this chicken in salads, wraps, sandwiches, or serve with your favorite sides. Store leftovers with some broth to keep moist.
