Chicken breast in slow cooker

Chicken breast in slow cooker - Eggs frying in pan on stove

I’m new to slow cooking and wanting to slow cook some chicken breast. I put in potato’s, onion and herbs along with whole chicken breast. Will this just burn onto the crock pot with no liquid in or will steam keep the moisture in the meat?



Best Answer

There is moisture in the onions and chicken. Yes it should cook fine.

I have put a roast in the slow cooker dry and it worked.
