Tips:

  • 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.
