Out of all the ways to cook chicken, slow-cooking breasts is one of our favorites. It’s so easy and the chicken breasts (which have a bad rep for drying out) stay nice and juicy. All you need to do is throw several chicken breasts in the slow cooker in the morning and let them go. To round out the meal and add flavor, we add potatoes, rosemary, and lemon.
