Is it better to slow cook chicken breast on low or high?
Don’t shoot the messenger. But, do not cook boneless, skinless chicken breasts on HIGH unless you like overcooked, dried out, tough meat. Always cook on LOW.

Sear the Chicken Before Adding It to the Slow Cooker
Pre-cooking seals in the juices in the poultry and makes it even more tender as you cook it. A caramelized piece of meat will always taste better in your dish.
