How long does it take to cook chicken in a slow cooker?

Cover your crock pot and cook chicken breasts on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. Chicken is done when the internal temp reaches 165 degrees F. Use chicken in your favorite recipes. Perfect for shredding!

How do you cook a whole chicken in a slow cooker?

Pour the oil into a small bowl. Stir in the paprika, salt and pepper. Brush the oil over the chicken. Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on high for 4–4 ½ hours or until the chicken is tender and thoroughly cooked – the meat should be almost falling off the bones.
