Method
 

How to Make Slow Cooker Garlic Butter Chicken
  1. In a small bowl, melt unsalted butter and stir in minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. Place boneless skinless chicken breasts in the slow cooker, ensuring they are evenly spread out for even cooking.
  3. Drizzle the garlic butter mixture over the chicken, making sure each piece is generously coated.
  4. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the chicken to infuse brightness into the rich flavors.
  5. Cover your slow cooker and set it to cook on low for about 6 hours or until the chicken is fork-tender.
  6. Once cooked, remove the chicken, shred if desired, and return it to the sauce. Serve warm with fresh parsley.
