Jan 4, 2012 - My chicken beasts always seem to come out dry and bland after cooking them low for 8-10 hours, any suggestions? thanks

Slow cookers heat from the sides (not bottom), so you want to make sure that the food and liquid reach up to at least half way up the sides. Some favorite liquids I add with chicken: broth, wine, salsa (you can water it down) and diced tomatoes with the juice in.

I know there is more work in taking out the bones, but you'll be surprised in the difference in moisture from split breasts to boneless breasts. Finally, don't be afraid to use a little olive oil to seal in moisture. Let me know how these tips work for you. Thanks for commenting!
