Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is best when it is cooked through but still moist. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
Add vegetables to your crock pot. Vegetables will add flavor and nutrients to your dish. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and mushrooms.
Season your chicken well. Use a variety of spices and herbs to flavor your chicken. Some good options include garlic, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Let your chicken rest before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken and make it more tender and flavorful.
