Directions

Rinse the chicken breasts, pat dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper and place in your slow cooker (Crockpot).

Cover and cook on LOW for 5 to 8 hours or on HIGH 2 to 3 hours.

Extra-flavorful “baked” chicken breasts

If you have the time, you can develop extra flavor with an extra step of advance preparation. Replace steps one and two as follows:

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a bit of olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering hot, add the chicken breasts and brown on both sides; Turning once. Remove the chicken breast and place in the slow cooker.

Add the remaining ingredients to de-glazed the skillet, scraping up and brown bits with a wooden spoon or spatula, about one minute. Pour over the chicken breast in the slow cooker.

Even more flavor

Use skinless chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts. Chicken thighs, with their additional fat, and connective tissue breaks down during the long slow cooking and creates a more luscious sauce and fall apart tender results.

Chicken thighs also tend to be more inexpensive than chicken breasts.

I make this recipe at least 3 times a month because it's so good. It's so easy to put together. I don't cook nearly as long as the recipe calls for though. Around 4-6 hours on low seems to do the trick.

Absolute delicious!! I Made this last night and it was fabulous! I like to eat this baked chicken with mashed potatoes and salad. I enjoyed how easy it was to make, and the sauce while admittedly a bit oily was very tasty!

Delicious!
Made 2 subs: used basil instead of tarragon, water and better than bouillon chicken flavor instead of sherry. Left out the mushrooms.
Served with mashed potatoes, great suggestion!
