I use my slow cooker to prepare these well-seasoned chicken breasts that cook up moist and tender. My daughter, who has two young sons to keep up with, shared this great recipe with me several years ago. I've since made it repeatedly.

4 bone-in chicken breast halves (8 ounces each)
1/2 cup chicken broth

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the first 7 ingredients and, if desired, browning suace; rub over chicken. Place in a 5-qt. slow cooker; add broth. Cover and cook on low until chicken is tender, 4-5 hours.

Used about 4 pounds of bone-in chicken thighs and doubled the rub. Added cubed potatoes to the bottom of a 7 quart slow cooker. Was a little dry, but I might have over-cooked it a bit. Seasoning was fine, nothing extraordinary.

Great recipe . I did the stated amount of rub for the chicken , once on I added a good dusting over top of a pinch of what’s called for . All in all good recipe will make again , simple and easy !

This was dinner tonight. Only 4 hours on Low, and ready to go! Three things: I only had two bone-in chicken breasts, but used the full amount of rub

SOOOO good! I cut potatoes and added to the bottom and put skinless chicken breasts on top. I also did not use browning sauce but added additional chicken stock to help flavor the salt & peppered potatoes. The broth was YUMMY over chicken & potatoes! YUM!

My family enjoyed this. I used bone in chicken thighs since that's what my husband prefers and it wasn't dry at all. It fell off the bone and was very flavorful. I lifted the skin and put the rub underneath the skin which worked out well. I would definitely make this again.

Pretty yummy. I did bone in chicken breasts, and I did not use the browning sauce. The chicken came out moist and held the flavor well. My picky 8 year old daughter ate it, so I'll be making it again, plus I love using my crockpot.

I really liked it after adding 1 tsp of browning sauce instead of 1/2 tsp. I use this seasoning for boneless, skinless and bone-in breasts. The bone-in is usually more flavorful. I cook it for less time when I use boneless, skinless.

Very tasty and so easy! I made a nice gravy with the juices and served the chicken on a bed of rice with peas. Delicious!

I added diced carrots and potatoes. The vegetables had a really good taste but we did not care much for the chicken. None of the flavor penetrated the chicken even though I pierced each piece with a fork, rubbed the seasoning on both top and bottom and let it sit overnight.

My family did not like this recipe. There are much better tasting chicken recipes.
