Slow Roasted or Slow Cooker Chicken

This is an easy meal that goes into a low oven or slow cooker.  Add some vegetables to the chicken as it cooks for a wonderful, no fuss meal.

Ingredients

1 Tbs. olive oil
1 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. seasoned salt
1/2 tsp. thyme
1/2 tsp. basil
1/2 tsp. pepper
4 chicken breasts or thighs
1/2 c. chicken broth
1/2 tsp rosemary

Directions

 Preheat oven to 175°.

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, seasoned salt, thyme, basil, and pepper. Mix until well blended.

Rub the seasoned oil all over the chicken breast pieces. Make sure that you rub the seasoned oil under the skin for the best flavor. Place the chicken in a cast iron Dutch oven or a slow cooker.

Pour in the chicken broth. Sprinkle the rosemary over the top of the chicken.

Cover and place in the oven or turn the slow cooker pot on low.  Bake or cook 4 to 5 hours or until chicken is done, and the meat is falling off the bone tender. 

Notes

Instead of seasoned salt, use onion salt.

Add some vegetables in with the chicken as it cooks.  You can add sliced carrots, sliced onion, chopped sweet bell pepper, quartered potatoes or chopped celery stalks.

Add 1/2 to 1 tsp. browning sauce to the seasoned oil.

Substitute half of the chicken broth with white wine.
