- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
- 1 teaspoon paprika (optional for color)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

- In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and Italian herbs; stir to combine.
- Pour the garlic butter mixture over the chicken breasts.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Notes
- Use chicken thighs instead of breasts for juicier results, adjusting cooking time to 7-9 hours.
- For dairy-free options, substitute butter with coconut or olive oil.
- Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for safety.
- Add vegetables like sliced peppers or green beans in the last hour for extra nutrition.
