Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons dried rosemary
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and place them in the slow cooker in a single layer for even cooking.
- In a small bowl, combine honey, olive oil, rosemary, thyme, paprika, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until you have a thick, fragrant paste.
- Pour the honey-herb mixture over the chicken breasts, using your hands or a brush to coat each piece evenly.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 4 hours or on HIGH for 2-3 hours. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider using fresh herbs instead of dried. Adjust cooking times accordingly if you use frozen chicken.
