Ingredients
1.5 lbs (approx. 680g) Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
1/4 cup (4 tablespoons or approx. 57g) Unsalted Butter, cold and cut into pieces
6-8 cloves Fresh Garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
1/2 teaspoon Dried Thyme
Salt, to taste
Black Pepper, to taste
Instructions
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper.
Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker.
Evenly distribute the cold butter pieces over the top of the chicken.
Sprinkle the minced garlic, dried oregano, and dried thyme over the butter and chicken.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours or on LOW for 4-6 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the slow cooker. You can shred it or serve the breasts whole.
Spoon the rendered garlic butter sauce from the slow cooker over the chicken before serving.
Notes
For a creamier sauce, you can whisk in 1-2 tablespoons of heavy cream or a cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp cold water) during the last 30 minutes of cooking on HIGH. Serve with rice, pasta, or vegetables. Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
