I call this 'Grandma’s Golden Glory' because it tastes like Christmas magic in every bite!

Slow cooker garlic butter chicken is one of those recipes that feels like a warm hug after a long day. It's inspired by my love for simple, yet flavorful meals that require minimal effort but deliver maximum comfort. This dish is perfect for those busy weekdays when you want to come home to a delicious dinner without spending hours in the kitchen. The combination of garlic and butter creates a rich, savory sauce that infuses the chicken with incredible flavor. Trust me, once you try this, it will become a staple in your meal rotation.

This garlic butter chicken pairs beautifully with a side of creamy mashed potatoes or fluffy rice to soak up all that delicious sauce. For a lighter option, serve it with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables like broccoli or green beans. A crusty piece of bread on the side is also perfect for sopping up every last bit of the buttery garlic goodness.

Servings: 4

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker.

In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Pour the garlic butter mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated.

Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

Once done, sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving, if desired.

For a bit of a kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter mixture. You can also swap out the chicken breasts for chicken thighs if you prefer a juicier cut of meat. If you're a fan of lemon, try adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the butter mixture for a citrusy twist. For a complete one-pot meal, toss in some baby potatoes and carrots into the slow cooker with the chicken.
